Wood-Burning Fireplaces and Their Pollution
We undoubtedly have all languished in front of a fireplace during the cold winter months and enjoyed the experience immensely. A fireplace burning bright during the holidays is also an age-old tradition that has us making s’mores, warming our hands after playing in the snow and reading while enjoying a favorite beverage.

These three together […]
Early Morning Footsteps
There was a time when my boys were young that I hated the mornings. Both boys were very early risers and it was not uncommon for our whole household to be up way before 5:00 AM. By 10:00 AM, it felt like a full day had passed. Those early morning hours were some long, lonely […]
