Fire
When it’s cold outside, and the temperature has currently dropped into the teens, it’s nice to build a fire and feel the warmth on your face. Cathy and I both worked from home today and she was in the family room. That room tends to be a bit cooler than the rest of the house so I build a fire and that warmed her up. As I was building the fire, I was thankful for an attached garage. There are many benefits to an attached garage. I understand that some people claim to put their cars in them, which I think is mostly urban legend. One thing it means for me is that our supply of wood can be got at without going outside. It’s still cold but it is dry and there isn’t any wind. The wood is also kept quite dry, so it lights very easily.
