It's chilly today. But still too early in the season to turn on the furnace. I've got a woodstove, but all my wood is in the backyard and I still can't walk well enough to make it through all the overgrown weeds I wasn't able to clear out through the summer because of the broken leg. So space heater it is 🤣 Because it's supposed to warm back up tomorrow and it'll stay warm for another couple weeks before fall *really* gets here. By then, I'll have a couple cords of wood delivered and stacked right next to my front porch for easy access, and I'll have my lovely cold months routine of starting the fire every morning, which helps keep my heating bill down in the winter months - I can keep the furnace at 60 and still have the house a nice toasty 80 degrees with the fire going good! Which is why it's too early for the woodstove, too... That sucker cranks out the heat!

Truth. Does a couple cords of wood usually last you the whole winter?

Usually. It's not a very big house, I close off the rooms I don't use often, and use box fans spaced from living room to bedrooms to help circulate the heat from the woodstove more, then the furnace and space heaters keep it warm enough overnight. It makes for a quite lovely routine - start the fire in the morning, bed down the coals at night so they're ready for the next morning's fire. I do a LOT of magic with the fires in that woodstove through the cold months.
