Wood Pellet Weekend

Back in Maryland, we had a woodstove in the basement and electric baseboard heat upstairs that we resisted turning on as long as possible because it was so expensive.

Your autumn colors are lovely. We're also at peak right now and I celebrate along with you, the wonderful colors and varieties on each tree and bush. There's nothing quite like it.

Yes, hauling heavy bags really sucks. For future thought, may I suggest a wheel barrow? We usually load ours with 300-400 pounds of paver base at a time to get them down the hill to our lower yard and "castle" walls. My muscles ache in sympathy for the efforts of you and Bobby. Quite literally been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt.

I envy you the wood pellet heater. Wood heaters generally work so well. Unci (Grandmother) had one in her home between the living room and kitchen and it did a beautiful job heating the house. In Pine Ridge SD, it's not uncommon to have a lot of days of sub-zero temps as well as some rolicking blizzards and brish winds. Good heat is the difference between survival and freezing to death.

My own heat is a gas furnace. It costs, but our summer costs are minimal so we grit and pay for the winter months. I hope your new home will be cozy and warm over the upcoming cold months.
