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 !

This IS cozy looking. Living in central Israel there isn't much call for fireplaces around here. I miss them.

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!

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.

Sing in Spring

I've heard the voice of this little wren in the bushes around my patio  -- echoing through my back yard as if through a megaphone.  So much volume coming out of this little feathered bit of avian life.

Today it actually perched in the top of the pine that grows in our neighbors yard and hangs its branches over into the corner of our back yard.  As it declared its territory I dare not infringe -  instead I stayed on my side of the yard and used the digital zoom to captured its aria of spring.

I was hoping another Bewick would respond.  Perhaps now would be a good time to find a wren box and place it in a safe nesting spot.

An Old Cold Spot

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 the make and model that Mike in…

Earth Friendly

My parents did not know that they "recycled." They were frugal out of need and found a second use for nearly everything. I could tell you stories - but I won't today.

People who survived the depression lived by the motto, "Use it up, wear it out; Make it do, or do without."

When our children were growing, we did not adhere to the philosophy. With two full time working parents, our household took the convenient route more often. The girls had school and extra curricular activities and so did we. We didn't include recycling.

Now that the hubby and I are older and wiser, (I'm mostly older) we are more aware of the things we use.

Earlier this year, Swamptwitch and Robin began a recycling challenge for 2007 (S.P.E.A.R. Challenge 2007) that I am revisiting; Swampy introduced it on her post Talkin' Trash.
