The day started out all snowy, like a winter wonderland- big flakes falling.
I decided to stay home and work since it was too cold to walk and too snowy to drive.



I started a fire in the woodstove in the main house and Dan started one in the studio for the first time.
Toward evening, I saw what looked like a flame coming out the chimney of the studio wood stove.
So I got out my telephoto lens and zoomed in really close. Dan shut down the stove and the "flame" went away.
Now we need a chimney sweep to check it out.

Worked some more after a dinner of shrimp and grits (stone ground brought back from South Carolina by friends!), then Dan made bread.
2 cups whole wheat and 3 cups unbleached white flour
His first bread-making attempt.
Can't wait for breakfast!
We can use the microwave for a "bread box" like Papa used to do.
