Warm News.....At 8 below.

 For 12 years are main source of heat has been
a wood stove and this last week we finally.....
drum roll!
 received a furnace......
I'm so excited...no frost in our windows just a warm house!
Such a blessing, the best Christmas present ever!
 So far so good Milo and Jerry have left both trees alone.....

 The sunrise was beautiful this morning streaming through
the windows......
I still have a few things to get ready for Christmas...
How are you guys coming along with
your lists?

Take care, 
Heidi

  1. congrats on the furnace!!!!! AWESOME! i cannot imagine existing on wood alone thru your winters. i know the first 13 yrs of my life, we lived in an old home w/ a huge wood furnace in the basement in wisconsin, but still, that seems less harsh than alaska. :)

  7. Your puppies are better behaved than our Olive! I'm wrapping presents but can't put them under the tree, which is constantly under attack.

    Your home looks so wonderful and festive x

  13. I love your decorations, and your house looks so lovely and light. It's great that you can have a warm Christmas. Keeping up with chopping wood, cleaning a fire and getting it ready to light is so time consuming.
    I don't have many things ready at all for Christmas, but I have a loooong list!

  21. Dear Heidi,
    Congratulations on your brand new furnace. So glad you have central heat. But I remember the days growing up, when all we had was a wood/coal stove. The heat from these stoves was wonderful. Cherished memories.
    Wishing you and your family a beautiful Holiday Season.
    Greetings,
    Heidi
