The sleeping has been pretty sweet, covid (or whatever) be damned. We’ve had a lot of cold mornings and I have been a wee bit lazy, getting up early to turn on the propane stove then heading back to bed until things warm up a bit.

Way back when before the propane stove, we had a big wood stove. It would heat the place up oh boy oh boy but if you started it up on a cold morning and then the weather warmed up (warmer outside than in), the place would be all heated up and no way to cool it off. Eventually the parents decided a propane stove was more efficient. It took me a while to “warm up” to the new system but it works pretty well.

I will never forget one morning when I was about eight and before sunup it was 39 degrees and one of my feet was a total block of ice. Moooooom? I’m really cold. She grabbed an old army air corps blanket outta the “little room” (now the bathroom) and it immediately and totally warmed me up.

The photo is from a video the GG took of meeee wandering around down on the bank yesterday afternoon. I did not know he was doing that. I am at the end of the path we built when the moomincabin was new. A few years later, the older generations re-discovered an old path to the beach between the Old Cabin and the moomin and we have used that ever since.

Steak dinner with npJane tonight and we are all out tomorrow morning.
