Over the Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct. 10, 2011) weekend the weather was in the high 80ºF range. The days were hot but quite pleasant. Yesterday the rains came dropping the temperatures into the high 50ºF range which is quite a temperature drop. According to the weather forecast it will be raining through next Tuesday (Oct. 18) meaning cooler temperatures and grey days. These are the kind of days that we used the gas fireplace to take the chill off of our previous house without having to turn the furnace on.
We haven't installed a gas fireplace here yet and haven't decided if we will since the spot we thought a gas fireplace would fit is not suitable. Yesterday I cooked up a large batch of homemade chili. The heat from the new gas range heated the kitchen considerably so that was a nice bonus. It's cold, grey, and damp today so I'm really missing our gas fireplace. I hauled out my fleece vest and sweater thern put on an extra pair of socks. It's time to get the knitting basket out to make each of us a new pair of slippers. That furnace isn't going to be turned on aside of testing through one cycle until we absolutely have to turn it on.
