First fire of the season....

The AC has been off for a week or two and the nights have been getting cooler. Today was windy with a daytime high in the high 50's. This coincided with the near completion of our hard wood floor installation so it was time ... time for the first fire of the season in our soap stone stove. I had been saving all the small scraps of quarter sawn strip flooring just for this. It will probably be too warm in here in a few minutes, but we can open the windows. Fall is here, even if only for just a few days so far.
