The directness of your haiku somehow managed to paint an entire landscape in my mind.

Suzanne is right. I can imagine a whole story from this. 🙂 And it sounds so cozy, too.
I love the image, too.

Thank you, Jane. I think of them as each magnifying the qualities of the other.

I have yet to light my fireplace. I might just do that this week. 🙂
Lovely illustration.

Twice, so far, for me. And as romantic as I think a wood fire is, the first thing I did when I bought this house was to put in gas logs. Call me lazy, but I never enjoyed the work/cleaning involved in a wood fire. Now outdoors, that’s a different story.

My hubby made our indoor fireplace semi-efficient. It gets outside air. He put in a heat-exhanger, a grate with hollow tubes that the logs sit on. It also has glass doors to keep the view available but the room safe. The motor intakes the room air and then after the tubes are warmed forces it back into the room. Most wood burning fire places actually take warm air from the room and up the flue. We don’t have gas… A missed utility but while other homes in our neighborhood have propane tanks (for stoves mainly)… we didn’t want to go that route.

I like the contrast between the sight outside and what is happening inside.
