and cheered yourself??? Hey...are you in the wrong thread catagory??? LOL???
OH...I get it...with the toasty warmth of the woodfire! NICE!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist...I should probably go do something productive with my day, but you guys are so much fun!)

the woodburner is verry cheerfull I think I would hate winter without it. It keeps you somewhat active around the house that lugging in the firwood that you spent all summer andfall cutting and splitting and you dont feel violated by an oil bill since we have heating oil out here in the country a tank of oil can ruin christmas

grrrrr...I hate winter but I found a really warm coat, it goes down past my knees and the hood is so big and furry I can put it on and close the rim of it completely around my face

<------- Adores winter................

Spring,summer and autumn too

got room in there for me

Dang nab it! I knew I sould have gotten the next size bigger!

We will have our first frost tonight, I am more worried about what a lean xmas santa is bound to have.

I turned my furnace on but told the kids do not turn it above 62...EVER! I went and bought 2 electric heaters for when we are home. Bundle up! I'm not paying a $400 a month gas bill this year.

I can't figure out if we can subsidize $600 case of soda sent to Iraq why can't we subsidize solar panels for people to afford really heating their homes?

Really.

or how about this....

Br*** pledges $25,000 to move LaSalle dog park







The Barkyard, the city’s off-leash dog park, is being relocated to another area of LaSalle Park.

The move was triggered after it was determined the initial site was located too close to the city’s water treatment facility, in violation of Environmental Protection Agency regulations, Mayor Byron

W. B**** said Saturday. The mayor also pledged $25,000 in city funding for the park.

The city has collaborated with American Water to provide fresh water and running fountains to the new area at a cost of approximately $10,000. In addition, the city will provide benches and other facilities for the dog park at an estimated cost of $15,000.

Just a thought here.... seeing N.Y state is heading for a recession...maybe that money would be better off somewhere else.

dont worry I'll wiggle my way in somehow

Wait til you get the BILL for the fuel.....That'll get your blood pressure up and help keep you warm!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
