(though I can appreciate being such a nighthawk myself!).<br /><br />More and more I'm aware of the illiteracy here and how it spills out into every aspect of life. And the poverty here too as well as around the globe and not just the so-called Third World. i.e. 50 million USians on foodstamps!<br /><br />We are truly fortunate to have our larders stocked and our homes warm.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-12064231695956024732011-02-18T02:44:02.029-03:302011-02-18T02:44:02.029-03:30It's so easy sometimes to lose track of the si...It's so easy sometimes to lose track of the simple pleasures. I haven't had a wood stove in years but have fond memories of the sort of things you mention. On the other hand, sitting here at nearly 3am, in a quiet, warm house with no immediate concerns about food or shelter is so much more than millions of people in this world have. And simply being able to read your wonderful reflection online is something that about 25% of Newfoundlanders with illiteracy issues are unable to do. We truly are a fortunate people in so many, many ways.<br /><br />Stay toasty and blessings to Leo.ViewPoint2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/01220005318305605072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-63866785803597083812011-02-17T22:14:37.480-03:302011-02-17T22:14:37.480-03:30Oh, that sounds so nice.

When I tell them it's time for their lecture they rush into the bedroom and get on the sofa we keep there for TV. And they don't go to sleep any faster than Jerry does.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979547096244105508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-40138998110688407332011-02-17T16:21:49.794-03:302011-02-17T16:21:49.794-03:30Oh Annie:

They cock their ears and look inquisitive and then after a minute or two they just come over totally confused, admit defeat and go back to imagining enormous bones.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-49666011277557539542011-02-17T07:52:55.600-03:302011-02-17T07:52:55.600-03:30Enforced idleness is not as interesting as an '...Enforced idleness is not as interesting as an 'away' day.

I think I prefer my springlike weather, even though you have a cozy fire. It's a good thing you have Anza to cuddle on cold days like that. And thank goodness for Leo and his smoking habit. He could buy a couple of packs at the time and not top your wood pile.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-54035533718894622582011-02-16T22:45:48.996-03:302011-02-16T22:45:48.996-03:30Good you still got power (and internet)!
