Clean Your Stove and Chimney

So,You’ve got your Homestead, perhaps a few hens, goats, pigs, ducks (we have Muscovy Ducks), and a few others things to tend to! Those things warm the cockles of the heart. One of the other things, that warms the hearth is your fireplace, or Wood Stove, and Chimney! It’s those things that I’m a talkin about today! Sorry to be waxing poetic, but I’ll be after watching the movie Wild Mountain Thyme. A good yarn it is to be sure!

Anyway, it’s that time of year, when the Fireplace, or Woodstove, and Chimney need a good cleaning! Yes, that’s right, right now in the middle of the Winter! The creosote has been building up, and it’s a good idea to take and do it on a warmer of the days. It’s a good precaution to be taking for sure! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! 

A good cleaning may just prevent a fire and save your home, and homestead. From our Home to Yours, we wish Ye a safe and blessed Winter and know that it’s now less than 55 Days till Spring! That’s a Blessed thing to be sure! 

Now, You should know that if Ye be clicking the links on this website it might be earning me a small pittance! Although if Ye shall watch the movie Wild Mountain Thyme.the heart warming entertainment You’ll receive be far more valuable than any pittance that might come my way! It rivals that of a visit to Briden Farm! If Ye be not believing me, do both, and Ye be the judge!

The Journey Home

Living remotely has its challenges, but when you have Holly the Snow Dog to lead the way, and Roscoe the Sled Dog to help Dad pull the toboggan, anything is possible!

Today, we helped Daddy Denis make the journey home after his stay in Yarmouth Hospital. It was an uphill haul for awhile there, but it’s well worth it, and just glad we’re all back home, safe, and together! P

Yes! He really does!

Every time I bring in an armload, Roscoe brings a stick….

I think it probably accounts for at least one wood box full every week!

When He’s not helping fill the wood box,

He’s helping pull the toboggan! To see that read,
