Snow
We are expecting 15-30 centimetres of snow to fall in the Golden Horseshoe today. In honour of this, we are posting our favourite combination of wintery things..snow, fireplaces, warm spicy mexican hot chocolate and a book!

This is just the beginning of today's snowfall. It is a soft, light powdery snow and so beautiful.

Fireplace
Our current favourite fireplace from Napoleon's Continental line. We are loving the traditional look and feel of the CDV70. With it's 35,000 btus and an 81% efficiency rating, it is sure to keep you warm on a day like today and for years to come. The CDV70 also boasts an advanced burner system providing the most realistic looking flames in the industry.

Hot Chocolate
Spicy mexican hot chocotate to warm and sooth. Please follow the link, which will lead you directly to the most warming, sumptuous hot chocolate with a kick of cayenne. Guaranteed to warm you up from head to toes!
Follow this link to get the recipe.

Book
Elizabeth Gilbert's novel "The Signature of all Things" is truly a book to be devoured over a snowy weekend by the fire.

GEAR UP FOR WINTER

It's mid-October in the Golden Horseshoe. The escarpment is at it's most beautiful...auburn and ochre coloured leaves abound.
The familiar sound of crisp leaves being crushed underfoot is soothing, yet a grim reminder that winter chill is around the corner. We've had an unseasonably beautiful and warm fall, but the winds are changing and the cold is on it's way. What better time to think about a complete fireplace clean and service.
A fireplace clean and service ensures that your fireplace is running at it's peak performance and efficiency level, all winter long. It also greatly reduces the chance of a mid-winter breakdown.
Our technician will perform a complete checklist of services to ensure your fireplace meets health, safety and efficiency standards. Of particular concern is testing to make sure that combustion gasses (including carbon monoxide) are flowing out of your home, and that nothing is flowing back in. Although many of us take our hardworking fireplaces for granted, hoping that they will continue to keep us warm and toasty with out any special care; the truth is that your fireplace needs the same type of attention as your furnace does. Your natural gas fireplace is an investment that not only increases your daily comfort, but also your home's value. An annual service and clean will ensure that it continues to perform at it's peak efficiency, for many years.

Please ask us about our "Gear up for winter" service.
