Spent the day laying and parging the rest of the tenth course of between-column rock walls, except for one section where an electrical box needs to be installed before further building can occur. Miserable cold work for the first few hours, even with the sun out. Perry was back and forth all day cutting and removing firewood. Over the past year he has made virtually all of the downed trees between VT 53 and the RV disappear, greatly improving the appearance of the driveway environs. Perry brought over homemade soup and sandwiches for lunch. Absolutely delicious, as always with his creations, AND warming! The propane tank gauge is hovering just above E as this is written. Fingers crossed that there is enough juice left to keep heat in the RV through the night. Why, you ask, have I let the tank get so precariously empty? Because a week ago the tank was ¾ full, and Agway only gives their 10% senior citizen discount on Wednesdays (which is tomorrow). And no true Vermonter would EVER pass up a 10% discount…
