Cold/Puppies

October 16th, 2006 at 09:28 pm

Today is definately sweater weather. It is raining off and on and it is currently 54 outside.

DH had two honey-do's this past weekend while I was away.

1. Move the puppies/mom dog out to the puppy shed and set up the heat lamp.

2. Clean the chiminey so we can have a fire in the woodstove.

Well, he never got to either one. So- tonight he and a buddy are going to clean that chiminey because it is COLD in this big ol house...

and then, they are getting the pups moved to their new home.

Mom dog (Anna) has become more of a pill and is restless to get back to her old digs with the boys. I am ready for her to transition as well...so off they go to the halfway house...a place of their own that is less wear and tear on my home and sanity!!

So, with the woodstove, we save on electricity...but now I am back to using the dryer...I guess its a trade-off. But one I enjoy making...I love the warmth and coziness of the woodstove!!

Welcome Fall!

    I've cheated a bit............hung clothes out in the daytime and fired up the wood stove in late afternoon. The clothes were almost dry, just fluff them up a bit and warmed them up by the stove....good to go.

    I'll do almost anything to keep from using the dryer!

    Contrary- I got away with that a couple days last week...but it is raining today...and alas, I just looked out back and realized my last load never came in off the line...and DH obviously (uh-huh) didnt 'notice' they were out there...nice, rain washed duds now! lol

    I have two drying racks set up in the room with my wood stove. The clothes will be dry by morning. With the dryer busted, its my only option with the rain.
