Free Wood

We have a fire place wood insert in our home. I love wood heat! We burn a lot of wood a year along with our heat pump.  In the summer when there isn't a fire ban we also use our fire pit quite a bit.  A few days ago a friend of mine moved into a new house and cut down some trees around the property.  She posted an ad on Facebook to have the wood picked up curbside, and I jumped all over it.  It took 2 trunk loads to bring this home, but well worth it being that I can drive by the house on my way home, no special trip needed.  Some pieces are large and my husband will cut it up to use in the house and some pieces are ready to go in the fire pit.  I say free wood on the side of the road, a few days of free heat, well worth my stop.  Side Bar, I am sure anyone driving by was laughing that I was taking free wood from the side of the road wearing a Michael Kors dress $3 yard sale find! 

Organizing for supper

Our deep freezer was bursting at the seams, a great problem to have, but it can be a challenge. I was soon going to count getting ingredient...
