Welcome back winter....

[Daisy and Delilah]

I hope you all have a blast!! Can't wait for the great pics and videos.

I am sitting here green with envy, but still smiling ear to ear from seeing all those pups enjoying it so much!

People around here are saying it is going to be a harsh winter this year... I sure hope we at least get some snow! If not, I might have you send a cooler full of it down here. ;-)

I'm sitting here NOT grinning. We had one of the coldest rains today with everyone wearing winter jackets. And they are predicting rain mixed with snow for Thursday and I am praying they made a mistake. I am so not ready for another cold spell and white stuff.
Glacier we heat with wood also, one of those airtight fireplaces. We burn those special logs to clean out the chimney and find it works real well, have not had to clean it once in 4 yrs. Do you have those out your way? Beats falling off a roof..or calling a chimney sweep.

We could get them, but the manufacturer of our stove(Vermont Castings) doesn't recommend them and our insurance agent won't guarentee fire coverage unless we can prove the chimney has been cleaned reguarly.

Sadly, the leaves are still green on the trees in my area, obviously it has not gotten cold enough for them to change yet.

EDIT: It was almost 39*F here this morning, so maybe it is cold enough.

No snow yet for me please.
