Warm and Toasty

The breakfast room was not original to Lnderhof

It wasn't even a porch that was enclosed

(although many think that it was

and that was what we wanted it to look like)

And because it has three walls of windows

And one heat vent

It is sometimes a trifle cool

especially in the morning

when the temperatures dip below freezing.

So we've always had a room heater out there

A basic room heater

That was more for function than for form

And it didn't even function all that well

It took the chill off but didn't make the room toasty!

So my this year's birthday present:

 A new heater

That has both form and function!

And with the "flames" leaping

And the embers burning

It adds a nice winter ambiance to the breakfast room.

Until last February when we pushed the table to the wall

so that all of my houseplants would fit in the breakfast room

so that the plant waterers would have an easier time of it

while we were away on vacation,

there was absolutely no room for anything but the small heater we had.

The new "stove" fits in well with our old house

And it just seems cozier out there with the "fire".

And unlike a real stove, the outside doesn't get warm

The tea kettle is on top just for looks!

It's Monday and I'm sharing my new stove with Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Met Monday
