It's been quite cold that last few weeks.
I can always tell because my normally perfectly tuned wind chimes start to sound strangely out of tune. That's because the extreme cold makes metal extra stiff and brittle. So the chimes de-tune.
Fortunately, we put in a few months stash of firewood. But, in this cold, the pile is getting smaller at an alarming rate.
That's when I learned about a sneeky trick for turning the morning's newspaper into tight, long burning logs for the evening fire.
Neat!
