Mud season is a little late this year.

I stopped by a dog kennel we use couple times per year. They use propane for heating, it’s got a couple fairly big buildings.

Guy was telling me the heating bills have killed his profit.

Charlevoix has been bitterly cold this year, believe me.

And the only heat for the whole house 100 years ago was a coal stove that someone (probably my grandmother) had to fire up in the morning. We are wimps!

While growing up, I remember my grandparents had a strange habit — they'd open their bedroom window a couple of inches in the dead of winter! Of course, they had an electric blanket. But, damn if the bedroom wasn't freezing cold. Lol. And I imagine trips to the bathroom were fun.

I figured out later that that habit was probably from living in house where the only heat was the kitchen stove. Probably a huge blanket and a stone at the bottom of the bed for heat.
