Kindling for Winter Fires

We found a listing on Craigslist yesterday for kindling, a much-needed commodity around our place, for our winter fire-building.  Almost two cords of wood has been drying in our solar woodshed since last March,  and kindling is an essential ingredient for starting a long lasting fire in our Sweet Home woodstove.

Our appointment to pick up the kindling was at 9 am. this morning, so the dog jumped into the backseat of the Chevy Colorado, and we headed down Broadway to the kindling seller, who lives near our favorite garden shed with a giant chicken painted on it.  The bundles of kindling are a project for a Snohomish 14-year-old who is saving up for his first car.  We were glad to be a part of such an ambitious project!

Look at these lovely, dry bundles.  They'll be perfect for our winter fire needs.
