I think the song itself, ‘Smoke and Fire,’ is just a metaphor for the feelings that you feel in a relationship.

Yup today it was Ash Day. The bottom of my woodstove had 14 inches of ash. That all had to be shoveled out.
It was a nasty terrible, lung clogging job, even with a covid mask on. There was at least 80 pounds of ash. I sympathised with the people in Pompei.
I filled the bottom with used wood pellets. After that I filled the bottom with dry garbage collected this morning. I added a couple of old oat milk jugs and whatever I could find.
Next came wood, carefully stacked and layered on the garbage. Add flame and fire started to happen.
Next was the gathering of snow. That included the giant bowl and two large bowls. I stopped to snap a pic. Then carried the 100 pounds of snow inside to be put on the now hot stove.
Yuo if I am writing it is because I am severly out of breath and resting. The problem was that my only seat in the fire room was too close to the hot fire.
I would have to move to the next job. As soon as I decide what that was. Yup, shovel wet urine soaked pellets to slown down the fire. While the door was open the room filled with lung clogging smoke.
After that I decided to make coffee. I was smart enough to fill the kettle before the cats got water, then I left to do chores.
Now I am reclined in my chair trying to recover from the work done this morning.
Water was on the boil. I was trying plan ahead for lunch and supper. Looks like 5 year old gluten abundant pasta. I had to cook it in two batches. One was flavored, one was not.
Down by the fire, the large bowls were melted and distributed to cats. The giant bowl was just getting started.
I gave the cats the leftover pasta water after I cooled it with fresh snow. They loved it and nothing is wasted. While I was in the fire room I decided to cut one board. The nasty ones were left, the full of nails double 2×4’s, 3 of them.
Ya of course I cut all three. Needed doing. I am heading up to eat breakfast and have coffee.
Pasta was sealed in tupperware for later. It was 12:30. Time for lunch. My solar was producing more than Xbox would use, so I decided to play. What I had a hardtime with is what to play.
I decided.
