First fire of fall -- 10/21/10 |
|||||||||||
We haven't had any really cold autumn weather yet. Okay, we have had some cool weather and some places that are more inland in Rhode Island may have had light frost on two or three mornings, but here where we live, not that far from the coast and the moderating influence of the ocean, there has been no sign of frost so far this fall. Nevertheless, Nancy came home on Tuesday night (from playing indoor tennis in Warwick) and suggested that it might be nice to have a fire. I brought a box of wood into the living room, sat down in front of our wood-burning insert, and opened its door. Before I could do anything else, I found I had a cat pushing his way in front of me. Tiger was definitely in favor of having a fire. I loaded wood into the insert and started a fire. Tiger settled down to bask in the warmth of the fire (even though it takes a few minutes before heat begins to radiate out into the room).
The weekend is coming closer. We are supposed to have pleasant weather, a mix of sun and clouds. It is going to be a busy weekend. Jill and I are going to 2nd Story Theatre on Friday night to see Kimberly Akimbo. Saturday morning I'll be doing some more book sorting for the upcoming book sale. Saturday night Nancy and I will be going to Trinity Rep to see Absurd Person Singular. And then on Sunday I'm going to be again taking part in the Providence Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk (fund-raising to fight breast cancer).
