Our Pellet Stove Rite of Passage

It's a bittersweet time of year when the night air becomes too cool to crank the windows wide open at night. But oh such a difference it makes when we start up our 26 year old Earth Stove Traditions pellet stove. Since they no longer sell them or provide service, Vern had to learn how to keep it going - sometimes with soot, sweat, and swearing!  All eyes turn from the flowers on the deck to the fire inside...ahhhh.  I can still picture Spot watching 5 year old Sydney get dressed in the morning by the stove...(this one's for YOU, girl) :)
