You've already seen in my header that the woodstove has been cranked up for the first time this 2025-2026 heating season. We had another fire there last night just to get the chill out of the air.
At the end of the heating season this past spring we installed this fan in the doorway between our great room and the rest of the house. Didn't get to use it much then, but it's been on for both fires this week and it does work to spread the warmth. The thermostat is in the main part of the house and it has raised the temperature on that so the heat didn't kick on.
Winter is not far away for us here in New Hampshire. At 10:30 this morning it was reading 40º and even colder at 10 am when I walked to the library to get some books for the storytime at 11:15 with granddaughter #4 on FaceTime.
The Friday morning we left for the sibling reunion last week there was a hard frost. My geranium that I debated bringing inside is done!
Granddaughter #1 who comes here one day a week for her homeschooling is a whiz at puzzles. She does these while she listens to her social studies lessons and to take a break. Luckily I am well stocked so far with puzzles. She finished this on on Tuesday and immediately starting another one.
I must admit that I take the opportunity to fit in some pieces, too when she's gone home. She can't have all the fun.
Final comment/question: has anyone watched "Have I Got News For You" on CNN? It's on Saturday nights at 9 pm I think. We record it so I'm not sure of the time. It is hilarious and despite the bad news of this administration we can laugh at the inane things the administration is doing.
I even learn things. There was a segment on Bondi's "testimony" with Senate oversight committee. If you watched any of her answers you probably noticed how she'd flip pages in her notebook. I thought she was flipping to sections on the topic of the questions. But no! An observant photographer took photos of her pages and there were derisive notes about the particular Democratic Senator asking the questions. No wonder she was so quick with her nasty retorts. She had them all prepared.
The rest of you may have known that already but this was eye opening for me. She is definitely in the thrall of tRump. Poor (well maybe not so poor) deluded woman!

I love seeing the wood stove! We haven't built a fire yet nor turned on the heat but I know the cold is coming.
...too puzzling for me.
