Ever since we moved into this house, Daniel has wanted to build a fire in the fireplace. Despite the fact that the temperatures had barely dipped below 90 degrees.
But the past couple nights have definitely had a bit of an autumn chill, so Daniel finally got to build his fire. He was not discouraged when the wood that he gathered was too damp to burn, instead he collected anything he thought would burn which included pine cones, a newspaper and a pizza box and set it a blaze.
Since I have never lived in a house with a working fireplace, I did not share quite the enthusiasm as Daniel did but I will have to admit that there is something about a crackling fire at night, it adds a sense of rustic to the houseand makes it feel very homey.
You cant really tell by this picture but he is about to use our hammer as a stoker.
