Today I had Bob McKenzie bring me a big ol' red dumptruck of firewood. Now we're ready to ward off the fall chill. This is a mix of oak, ash and cedar, two-year seasoned and ready to enjoy alongside the fall's red wines. This type of living, my friends, is the country. Romance abounds.

Yes -- so from the city, this is how I keep an eye on the house. Like, its good for me know that the place hasn't burned down or fallen prey to a wayward pine tree. In either case, State Farm is there, so no biggie. But sometimes, its just nice to know.

As you can see, we're still in the process of making this room nice!
