We have a DVD and can watch an open fire on TV screen until the ashes. The strangest thing is that our visitors pretend the room is warmer when this "fire" is on, lol ! BTW Blogger doesn't like gifs !
i rarely load any pics thru blogger I use photobucket. I write entire posts with pics in windows live writer and then one click button puts it on blogspot! :o)
I've never tried uploading animated ones, but if you upload directly to Picasa (which is where Blogger stores its stuff) and then just paste the URL from the image into your post it works with any other kind of image. I don't upload from my desktop to Blogger ever. But I've never had a problem getting an image to post that I uploaded to Picasa -- no matter what the Google people tell ya.
I love how your fire even flickers in the picture! Do you have "spare the air days" like we do? (where no fires are allowed) Stay warm and cozy! xo

I tried to comment on this pic last week, but couldn't access the post (it showed up in my reader). I love a good fire--in our fireplace our outside in our fire bowl. Makes the world seem right.
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill, a warm Chinook wind blew in. It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling. At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other. Feed the birds ****
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of...
