I can almost smell the crackling wood in the fire place, LG!!

A thinking poem, and a picture of our every day, and who notices? You do!

Thanks, Caren. Reminds me of slower times living out in the country.

Lovely image Line, a picture of the industrial revolution came into my head, all those chimneys' belching out clouds of white smoke. Tom

White smoke is so much better than the black smoke of old factories. I've tweaked this poem to soften the connotation associated with the word belching. Reads more the way I really intended it now.
