Cold & Damp:

While it is hot in many places of our country here it is in the 40-6o's. We are burning our wood stove to keep warm as it is cold and damp outside. That is why it is taking us so long to get our firewood in for next winter - we are still burning it. We have also received an inordinate amount of rain this summer. Here in the mountains everything seems to be in excess now. Last winter it was the constant high winds; this summer it is cold, damp and rain.
