When we returned to the land, it felt like the seasons had turned during our short absence. It was warm--nearly 80 degrees on Friday. There were buds on the deciduous trees and the grass was greening up.
Gerald had picked up a new toilet seat. (It turns out that Kohler toilets are not compatible with other brands.) The first thing he did when we got there was install the seat, then we finally had a flush toilet! It's hard to express what a big moment that was for us.
It was spring break and J.C. was off from his day job as school bus driver, so he came up on Friday and helped Gerald install the transition piece of the flue pipe for the wood-burning fireplace. The hole Paul had drilled in the ceiling didn't line up with the pipe from the fireplace, so a special part had to be ordered. It took most of the day to get it done.
