toasty toes

As the temperature dropped, I began moving indoor plants from atop the wood stove to their "winter" places.  This involved some creative placements (even some stair step arrangements) to take advantage of daylight during shorter days.  At last, the wood stove was freed, emptied, wiped down and loaded.  The first fire on the season is glowing in time for the single digit temperature predicted for tonight.  I'll be toasty as I sort through the other items displaced today and find appropriate cubbies and niches for their long winter sleep.  Perhaps a few items will find places in someone else's home:-))
