Glad you enjoyed it. <br /><br />I agree, Savanna. Fire to me is deeply magical.<br /><br />Hi Linda! Lovely to see you here and on the pinkie. My hubby appreciated your comments as he also designs both blogs. <br /><br />Keena - oo la la! Interesting about undies. Books of Hours and picture and manuscript sources are wonderful, I agree - often there is so much to see and to learn from them.Lindsay Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954003377229410424.post-19990268630794454092009-11-08T02:20:04.262+00:002009-11-08T02:20:04.262+00:00Fire is primal, isn't it?

It is very artistic as is your Pink blog.<br />When it's time to build fires, my husband and I head for our Florida condo but we have a few cozy fires in our Kentucky fireplace before we go. Enjoyed your picture and your blog.

I love a big fire on a chilly night....Hey Lindsay,<br /><br />I love a big fire on a chilly night. When I was a senior in high school, we had to move from Oklahoma to West Virginia--the winters there are longer and colder. Houses here at that time (in Oklahoma) didn't tend to have fireplaces, but in WV that was a "must." My dad built up a roaring fire so hot that the firebox (metal) inside the walls began to scorch the 2x4's that were next to it. Before we knew it, the smell of fire was all through the house, but was coming from inside the walls. My parents called the fire dept. who came out and tore out the beautiful rock fireplace to be able to get to the source. The firemen told my dad it was lucky that it hadn't burned over to the window where it would get oxygen--if it had, the whole house would've gone up in flames. So now, I love a big roaring fire in our fireplace too, but I use a bit of caution after that experience!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954003377229410424.post-75441377798209458572009-11-07T20:02:54.925+00:002009-11-07T20:02:54.925+00:00Thanks, Chelle!
