I never cease to be amazed at how pretty this place is. Here we see Emily planting garlic on what is probably the last possible day. Several people I’ve talked to in town mentioned that they were looking at the weather report, feeling guilty that their garlic wasn’t in yet, fretting\u00a0at the coming weeks of rain, and clearing their calendars. It’s funny to think of people all over north county all planting garlic simultaneously\u00a0on Saturday, as though under some subliminal mind control waves.<\/p>\n

\"cheery_J\u00f8tulSM\"<\/a>In the days since that photo\u00a0was taken, the rain and cold have moved in, requiring us to light the wood stove in the house while we work. We’ve finally removed\u00a0the old stove that came with the house, and saved it to use elsewhere (yet to be determined). \u00a0It’s a nice enough stove, but two years ago Emily scored a really sweet J\u00f8tul Model 8 wood stove on craig’s list for about a thousand dollars less than new. This is our dream stove; we’ve loved it ever since we used one in a friend’s vacation\u00a0home in Door County, almost a decade ago. They are the finest of Scandanavian\u00a0woodburning technology, both beautiful and extremely efficient. This one needs a little cleaning and a few parts replaced, but I can handle that.<\/p>\n\n\n
