The only way to keep warm

in our first big winter storm! With no electricity for over six hours and freezing cold weather, we had the fire going all afternoon and until we went to bed.

Oh my, I’m glad you have a backup. Your text image feels so cold and your photo image feels so warm. Do you have anyway to consider solar?

It is very much appreciated :-)

[Diana]

@merrelyn Not atm Merrelym, It was the storm that damaged a substation ;-(
@redy4et @rickster549 It is not normal to have such low temperatures during the day, but there must have been a snowstorm on the mountains. We are about 120 km's from them.
@shutterbug49 We do have solar, for the pool and the house. It also needs sun and electricity. We had neither ;-)

[Shutterbug]

I hope they get your electricity restored soon. Stay warm. And that is one of the prettiest fire shots I have seen.

[Vesna]

Well done. I live in big building and haven't that possibility.
