First fire

[greenstorm]

Cleaned the chimney, started the woodstove last night. Ooof.

The house feels so much nicer though. And there's something about wood heat, it makes the house feel quieter. Stepping out from the warm house into the woodsmoke-smelling cool air outside, though: it's definitely fall.

the red sun in and of itself can be pretty spooky; the grey sky is harder; the lowering orange sky really makes a body feel like the world is about to end right this minute. it's downright primordial, some kind of brainstem response. i am deeply grateful not to be on the coast this year, and really feel for the people who are living in that visible apocalypse day after day.

So grateful not to be there!

Evacuating during it previously was at least something to *do*
