homeschoolers' delight
For some reason, our newspaper hasn't been delivered most of this week (hopefully the deliverer hasn't been sick) but it did come today. We've got some lovely cottonwood for the woodstove thanks to
suenechica but having used up all our old paper we've let the stove go cold for a couple of days. Today a couple of the younger kids offered their old, used "Key To" math workbooks. Ha! Why not? They are all newsprint and the concepts are in the kids' heads (we hope). "Let's recycle the math lessons! Yay!"
I really like the way cottonwood burns. It burns at a nice temp, faster than a hardwood, but it's...light. Some woods have strong smoke - some smell nice and some not so great but cottonwood is simply warm and almost smokeless. At least it seems almost smokeless. It is giving us a beautiful fire in the blustery night. And we all felt just a little bit...wicked...burning up math lessons.
