Cinnamon Grammy – discussion with DH was a no – there will be no combustible gasses in the house. We do have a propane grill with a small “cook top” on it out back and we do have a camp stove (in storage) so I guess if we get a repeat he can fire up the grill to heat my water until we bring everything else in our life that’s in the storage unit back home.
Old Mt Woman oftentimes the recovery is harder than the surgery. Praying that isn’t so for you.
Still working on trench for electrical. Had I realized how big a job that would be (everything is already there so I thought we were basically done – silly me) I would have recommended renting a ditch witch, but now he really is almost done so no point in the equipment.
Been working my way through The Make Ahead Vegan cookbook I ordered and planning what to fix. Also trying to figure out how to organize freezers once we’re back in the house as there is only room for one of them up there and the other two will have to stay in the shop.

Or else ask DH where he moved it is probably better solution. I don’t eat PNB so it usually doesn’t matter where he stashes it.
We have a mountain near the town and the rule is not to plant corn until all the snow is gone from the mountain. We’re not there yet. But it is doing well otherwise.
