The Neighbors Stove

Each day I stare at this stove and covet it. If you are a regular you know I love Fire... see prior POST of Pine Cone FIRE..

If this were mine, it would have a raging fire inside.  Did you hear about the fire at the circus? it was in tents....   brace yourselves, fire puns are coming. Love me tinder, love me true...You all set my heart on fire.... I am a fire distingquiser, this girl is on fire....I love you all because we are a perfect match.....

Speaking of Pine Cone Redux

Writing about  the falling pine cones in yesterday post, I had a flashback to 5 years ago and my fun with our pine cones.. This is a RePost from 2012

This is my Redneck Fireplace.... Bob has a set of two  of these, they are pots for melting lead.

 As you can see if you enlarge the photos, the redneck fireplace is loaded with a pine cone, pine straw and dead leaves and about 20 matches..... you would THINK that many matches would act like kindling wood. NOT!

I was snapping and whining  "it JUST will NOT  burn, all it is doing is smoking.... Stop! you will burn your hand, "I yelled as Bob put more pine straw on it.

Bob kept piling on straw and I kept saying "only the STRAW is burning, I want the cone to burn"

As he huffed and puffed and blew on the straw, it flamed up as I yelled

"be careful, you will catch your beard on fire. besides the ONLY thing burning is the pine straw, I want the pine cone to burn"

I said "stop! I want to burn it! Let me!'
He said " you know you are a pyromaniac"
I said "we already KNEW that!"

 Well, we proved pine straw burns... do you think the pine cone will?
