The power went out at WL so I made dinner on the rocket cook top in the summer kitchen by the red cabin. (Power is back on)

Ran the rocket for an hour

Boiled water on a J -tube today!

I spread just a dusting of ash from the rocket mass heater in the red cabin.

I started the rocket oven this morning for lunch and cookies.

Time showers!

I carved round wood curtain rod brackets and a curtain rod from the bushes I cut down last fall.

This window used to have 25+ year old blinds that gave out. In the mean time we had tacked a bath towel for wearmth and privacy. Time to fix it propperly!

Curtain is made from 100% cotton twill remnant I found. I hemmed the edges, top and bottom by hand with mercerized cotton thread for a polished invisible look.

I also made round wood brackets and a curtain rod.

We are fishing now so I remembered I never sent these images. Better late than never?

I planted alot of seeds but some never came up 🤷‍♀️
