Relative Something

Yesterday was the first accumulating snowfall of the season, although most of it evaporated when the sun made a couple of appearances between flurries.

Since Monday is the day I don’t have to drive to the day-job, (I changed to a 4-day work week to counter-balance the loooonnng commute), I had time to go for a walk with Cyndie, before she needed to leave. It was chilly, but wonderful to be out walking in the falling snow.

Monday becomes the day we try to schedule service calls, and as Cyndie pulled out of the garage, the chimney sweep drove up to meet her. It didn’t take him long to check out the fireplace on the main floor, and then the stove in the basement. He cleaned the chimney and removed the rodent nest from the fresh air intake, and got out of here in about an hour.

My first priority after he left was to get a wire mesh installed over that intake port and then I started a fire burning. It was a perfect day to heat up those stones around the fireplace.

Now I really need to get the rest of that wood pile moved before the snow begins to start piling up!
