It's not much, but it is snowing right now. Very pretty. Unfortunately, I learned this weekend that my childhood fire-starting skills have completely disappeared. I lit one of my Estonian birch logs with paper, firestarting sticks, and a combination of the two... with no luck at all. I ended up going back to my trusty Javalog at the expense of my pride. Clearly I was not cut out to live in any age other than one with central heating.
