It's amusing to read your musings about a rural childhood in PA and compare them to mine. You win! Great story!

At the risk of turning this into a Dickensian tale of woe, I didn't bring up the chopping wood bit, but we were enlisted in that as well. THat was not a terrible activity in the summer because I remember finding all kinds of neat insects and creatures in an under the logs.<br />We never had boiling water in the pipes, but had them freeze many many times. That was a miserable state of affairs!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124636214096825169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-11213933661559924862009-08-12T21:44:34.346-04:002009-08-12T21:44:34.346-04:00Oh sweet nostalgia - I grew up with a "Tyroli...Oh sweet nostalgia - I grew up with a "Tyrolia" woodburning stove that heated the water and the house as well as cooking the food. If the wind was in the wrong direction it would go out completely and it could take hours to coax it back to life. If the wind was in the other direction, it would burn too hot and all the water in the pipes and radiators would boil. We all got great muscles splitting wood for it. <br />Eventually my parents saw the light and replaced it with the Aga they should have got in the first place. Although it is oil fired (because there was no natural gas connection to the village so not very climate friendly) it is still working fine and looking great 30 years on. (And no I do not have any connection with the Aga company)ClarityK (Sarah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16851859161326760677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-22277005626477855312009-08-11T18:26:41.648-04:002009-08-11T18:26:41.648-04:00Thanks Adrienne!!

We're going to re-do our kitchen within the next year or so and I honestly don't know how I'm going to decide on a stove - there are some really nice products available.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124636214096825169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-12802077819143361252009-08-11T15:33:08.983-04:002009-08-11T15:33:08.983-04:00Love the stove porn.
