I found your site by surfing around for information about the place where my ancestors settled about 200 years ago. I've never had the opportunity to travel there, and so far, your blog is the next-best thing. Your writing delights and your photos enchant. Gorgeous photo.

My morning begins the same way, and you've really captured the feel of it, the images of winter mornings for us woodstove users. I've got some quilted ski pants that are invaluable in mustering up my courage to get up in a cold house and get things going. Our creek is frozen too, and that brings a stillness to the world that we experience only at this time of year, a fitting compliment to the muted tones of the woods. I'll go out to the garden this afternoon and uncover my spinach and kale and see if they survived these cold nights. Nicely written.

These are the nights I sleep with one and dress in front of the woodstove in the morning. I hear ya.

I enjoy the bundled up brrrrr of winter, while it last. Some of my fondest memories are of being huddled near the wood stove, toasting one side at a time. It would be interesting to learn more about the people who lived in your house a 100 years ago. You must feel a special connection to them. I love that icy blu photo.

So when you woke up you stayed under the covers until he got up and re-lit the stove. Only then did you run as fast as you could to toast your bottom in front of the flames... Stay warm...
