  10. Reminds me of the years I lived in the country and heated with wood ... I remember all the chopping and stacking and hauling and boy am I grateful for having a thermostat nowadays where I just flip a switch and the heat comes on :)

  15. Beautiful! I'm sitting here in Norway, but this photo reminds me of my time in living in Tuscany, having wood delivered outside our wood shed. Hours and hours of stacking - an activity that builds character and feeds the soul. http://ahouseandagarden.wordpress.com/2010/07/11/visitors-wood-and-vanilla-filled-treats/
