It never gets old and starting the fire is one of my favorite things. And chopping wood can be meditative or therapeutic. But it certainly isn’t exciting.
And around here once the December fires are going it really doesn’t go out until March. So not a lot of meditative fire lighting sessions.
Yup, grew up with a wood stove for our main heat. Watching my dad relight it the few times it went out for cleaning over the winter was entertaining, but mostly it’s just a lot of work.
I miss standing in front of it to warm up in the mornings, but not walking across the frigid floors on the way.
