		<description><![CDATA[With characteristic can-do spirit, an old-fashioned farmgirl will likely face the flu with homemade chicken soup, hot tea and plenty of rest. She'll try fresh air. She may even improvise her own neti pot using a repurposed dish-soap bottle -- anything to avoid a trip to the doctor and the requisite dose of prescription pills.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We walked into the bathroom, with two sinks and a small shower and a teal-colored door in the back.  Melody worked up a bit of theatrics for us:  “And this,” she said as she opened the door, revealing a teal staircase with teal walls leading up to a bench with a toilet lid on it, “is the throne.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SNOW! It&#8217;s SNOWING outside our windows here at Lehman&#8217;s (in northeast Ohio). Ok, ok, we realize many of you have already SEEN the white stuff this fall, but we were caught offguard this morning. Brrr&#8230;it&#8217;s chilly out, too. Time to fire up the wood stoves!

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing more comforting on a cold winter's day than the lush, radiant heat of a woodstove. Its warmth soaks into your skin, and its flame enlivens a room with a presence all its own. I've always loved the way fire dances and illuminates, warming hearth and soul. And I continue to invite the spirit of flame into my home, even after suffering the very real nightmare of a fire that consumed my house 13 years ago....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aside from the practical value of having a reliable stash of emergency lamps and candles at hand, I like firelight whether the power works or not. Evenings, it’s a pleasant way to dial down the go-go pace of the workday and relax. Turning out the electric lights and lighting a few candles is like meditation. ]]></description>
