Our Vigilant woodstove has been around for awhile, just about 30 years in this kitchen. Two nights of driving rain and wind and a couple damp days with the cold lingering really makes for woodstove weather. Last night was amazing! The wind howled and the rain pelted the front of our house so much that my 'better half' even contemplated moving to the couch to get away from that roaring sensation that sounded like the "3:10 to Yuma" racing through the bedroom. As suddenly as it started, it was over about midnight. Lots of communities in southern Maine lost power last night and are struggling with flooding this morning. Us? Sump pump's doing its thing, the trimming of trees CMP did last fall worked and the Vigilant has the kitchen toasty. Snow is forecast for later today. Bring it on!

A nice warm image - a welcome change to the snowy images around the northern part of the blogosphere these days!

Sounds like it's nice and cozy in your house!

That fire looks super. There is no room for a fireplace or wood stove in my little house. The place I had years ago had a big wood stove in the living room that almost heated the whole house. Central heating is wonderful, but you can't back up to a heating vent like you can to a wood stove.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place to get warm.
ReplyDeleteSo I take it you got more of the rain and we got more of the snow? The fire looks wonderful by the way!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot, Bman. I can hear the ticking of the metal and the chink of the wood as the fire blazes.
