Stove shifts are (almost) over



The Koinonia house has no furnace, therefore a big chunk of our activities are around keeping the wood stove going. 
We normally start our first fire in October that's also when I have seen the first snow of the winter, but it really depends on the weather. This winter was a very long and cold one, which meant a constant wood burning. 
We all had to take shifts to feed the piggy for almost 6 months! But it's not over, now we need to get more wood for next winter, since we almost used all of it.

During the next 6 months, we need to find, haul, cut, split and store enough wood for the whole winter.

Now our next shifts will be around keeping the seedlings in the greenhouse alive.
