Some days I would go without any fire at all, and eat raw frozen meat and melt snow in my mouth for water.

The most satisfying part of starting my heating fire is the first crackle.

Knowing that all the effort of finding wood, gathering, cutting it to size actually served a purpose.

For me it’s heat, survival in the winter. Today fire was furnished by my old bed frame. It had been sitting on my front porch for years.

Now it serves another purpose, keeping us warm.

A friend stopped by to say thanks for the seeds.
