Everyday Things: Furnace
Posted by Prairierose on Oct 27, 2006Everyday Things is a weekly feature @ Everyday Mommy. It is designed to encourage all of us to embrace contentment and to appreciate the everyday things which we often take for granted. What is a favorite everyday thing of yours? Write about it, and then go let Jules know you did so others can be encouraged as well.
With the onset of cold weather, I find the warmth of my home or where I work to be something I really appreciate. With just the touch of my finger, I can make the room as warm or cool as I need (or want) it to be. Just a few decades ago, to become warm, stay warm, it took alot of work. There was wood to chop, to bring in. The fire to watch, and then I would venture that in some rooms, you would be extremely warm, and others, further from the fire, it would be cooler or even cold. Just simple things like duct work, to take our central air and spread it throughout the house — we don’t consciously think about it, but its one of those “everyday things” that we enjoy, because we are nice and toasty warm on those cold winter days.
