Glorious wonder of wonders, the pipes
are unfrozen . . . why NOT shower at 3:00
in the morning after no water for two days!
Delicious, absolutely delish! Somewhere
'twixt living in this wondrous 120 year old
cabin and the westerns my guy watches, I
have a tiny, tiny sense of what our peoples
of yesteryear went through. The arduous
journeys in covered wagon, obviously never
experienced . . . but the enduring of cold
climes and little fires, the oft times lack of
water, gathering wood in 18 inches of snow,
are all bits and pieces of a past not lived.
Me thinks we have it easy even if we have
to drive an hour to purchase and load wood.
He cuts, I stack . . . and when I say we go out
in the cold to gather wood . . . that's it, bring
in a bundle and keep the fire going. Bottom
line, I love it! And, I'm ever so grateful I've
experienced a bit of this kind of living in my
own time.
