Having had to run the furnace quite a bit when I first got here, I ran out of propane after just five weeks. I was really looking forward to a cooked dinner tonight, but I can’t get to town till tomorrow.

No problem, as it turns out. Cleaning the grainery earlier this week, I found a still useful small bottle of propane, the kind used for a camp stove.

And so, dinner was cooked on the porch. Don’t laugh. I didn’t want to run the risk of ruining my plastic table. 🙂
