Does sound like you guys are ready for winter.  I am NOT, in any
sense of the word!

This reminds me that I need to get someone in here to install a
woodstove that a friend gave me that has been sitting in the laundry
room all summer.  Weighs about 8 tons - well, not really, but it
takes about 4 guys to lift it...need to get a chimney co., I think,
as I need a flue liner; want to put it in a fireplace in the kitchen
sitting area that we can't use because the one in the living room has
such a powerful draw it just smokes up the house.   Think this would
help cut the oil consumption significantly.  Have enough wood around
here to fire it up; only difficulty is that the wood is not cut in
stove size pieces....well, before I deal with THAT difficulty; need
to get the stove in working order:-)

BTW, the Pachsandra arrived safely and I got them potted up tonight
as I'm not sure when that garden will be ready to plant - really nice
root systems!  Thanks!
