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!

Roscoe Helping With Firewood

Yes! He really does!

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

When He’s not helping fill the wood box,

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

Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

It’s been awhile since I’ve baked Cookies, and it’s also been awhile since We’ve enjoyed our Wood Stove! Nearly eight months since we last lit our Stove! Often it’s more like six months, but we’ve been blessed with warmer temperatures this year. Although it’s been rainy, it’s meant not having to start our Wood Stove till today! December Third! 
 
Now, the warmth of a Wood Stove Fire is incredible, it doesn’t just warm, it caresses your face, lifts your spirits, and well… takes you back to your childhood and makes you want fresh, homemade, cookies! 

So, today, after cleaning the Chimney on Wednesday, and cleaning the Stove yesterday, it was time! Time to start the Wood Stove for the Winter and to Bake Homemade Cookies! 

Some of the best, and simplest, cookies I know how to make are Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies! They may be simple, but when you add Watkins Products, like we do, it really helps elevate the simple to the sublime! To see how I tweaked the Recipe …
