Rustic Shutters & Stuff...

The Blog Cabin needs some shutters! There are so many to choose from online! But, even with the endless selection, the one thing P and I both agree on is that they MUST have some classic rustic charm! We are leaning towards the pine trees, but the "Our Cabin" ones are charming too...
What to do? Another coin toss perhaps? We are hoping to make a decision and hang them this Fall! **sigh** Fall. Our favorite season at the Blog Cabin. In other Fall news, this past weekend we cleaned up the yard as we get ready for campfire season! P even bought a chainsaw! Check it out...
It's a bit noisy, but way faster that the bow saw & look at all the campfire wood we cut and stacked! We plan to triple the size of the wood pile this weekend!
Once we were finished I sampled some of that wood and built us a nice little fire! Feel free to admire my blog cabin campfire! No...seriously, I built it in the shape of a log cabin...
It's an easy way to build a campfire where you stack the wood like a log cabin with a hollow center. You have to remember to leave a large opening on one side so that you can access it with a flame for lighting. On the top lay some smaller to gradually larger kindling across the top. Light a tinder bundle - or a fire starter, some paper or cardboard if you are not on a survival show and have access to it ;) and place it inside the large side opening. The flame will catch the kindling and the fire will take off! And just like that you will have a cozy campfire...
So there you have it! If you have a chance, let us know which shutters you prefer! Stop in again in a few days for updates! See you then! J
