Indeed, a fireplace

I just had to write about this photo, by Tammy Rapp. The day this house was on fire I was walking my dog up the street. Someone stopped me to ask where all the fire trucks were going. I decided to alter my walking route to include this little house, which I photographed a few years ago because of its quaintness. As I approached, I saw some firefighters hacking through the roof, but so calm, without a hint of hurry or commotion.

"They are practicing," said a woman standing next to me taking pictures.

I nodded. We both watched, fascinated, and the firemen smiled at us, appreciative of the attention.

The whole house is now gone, and I wish I had put in a bid for some fieldstone from the fireplace. It sure was cute. I do hope it found a new home.
