Home by the Fire

Tonight, we managed to make a fire in our wood burning stove. We've been unsuccessful in our last few attempts. Tonight we've rediscovered the secret. Before the big logs go in you've got to put smaller ones, preferably ones that have been split from the larger ones. This may seem obvious to you but the sequence eluded us until now. Now it's warm and toasty in the living room and I'm sure the dancing flames will lull us to sleep.
