The smell of wood smoke is carried on the breeze, sometimes subtle, sometimes overpowering, most times pleasant. It is an essential part of rural living, and of life here in Dalhousie.
“You just can’t beat wood heat.”
Out here in Dalhousie if you haven’t made that statement at one time, or if you haven’t heard it, I’m almost tempted to say you can’t be living in rural Nova Scotia.
I’ve burned wood all my life. When I was growing up in Dalhousie most homes were heated with wood. I think most people still do today.
Lots of wood piles cropping up in the area, getting ready for another winter. We like to look ahead. Wood needs to be seasoned and burning green wood will never do.
