There is definitely an art to starting a fire and don’t let anyone tell you differently. My first attempt at building a fire in our wood burning stove was such a flop, that in order to prove to my husband that I’m a “real woman” and get one going, I had to look it up on the Internet……see the Internet is good for somethings.

So tonight was my second attempt and after about 3 books of matches and 9 newspapers I am enjoying the red and gold embers as the flames dance. Enjoy your evening.
