Hand Warmer

Here’s the fireplace over which I just warmed my chilly hands after coming in from doing evening calf chores.  Its a fake fire, instantly ignited by one press of a button, the dancing “flame” produced by mirrors, light bulbs, and spinning foil strips.  Temperatures outdoors have taken a dive once again, hovering in the single digits above zero.  Thankfully, there is no wind.  A welcome warm-up into the 30’s is forecast for later this week.
