 Pellets:   This is how we heat the house.  Every fall we buy 3-4 tons of pellets.  We have some wonderful friends to help us load them into the basement.  Down there we have a pellet furnace.  It's usually Mark's job to keep the hopper full.  Every 3 days in the dead of winter it will eat about 5 bags.

This is a common site in our house.  Usually someone is at the piano.  Monica, James and Mark  can play for hours at a time.  Usually they sing worship songs and play.  It's beautiful.  Like having a CD playing all the time.
