That was exciting! RHeather managed to get a log wedged in the door of the woodstove. It was stuckstuckstuck and oh, yes, ON FIRE along the whole stove side.
Fortunately we are such girl scouts that after I noticed her distress, we hatched a plan that involved multiple steps and two sets of hands, and saved the day (me dousing the log with a pitcher of water, her wiggling it out with heavy gloves on, me opening the doors for her to carry it out to the concrete, her whisking it outside, me dousing it again with more water). I thought it was cute that while I was filling up the pitcher for a second dousing on the concrete she whisked my half full water bottle off the counter and carried it out to finish the job.
Life here is never boring. And I think our smoke detectors work.
