heat
Yesterday the pilot light for my heater went out. Nathan and I returned from finishing up our Christmas shopping in Santa Fe to discover a chilly casita. We then spent the next hour lighting matches, lighting the pilot, and holding down the knob while lighting the pilot. We counted off a minute, then let go, and the pilot kept going out. Eventually we gave up and went outside to look for firewood. We built a fire in our woodstove and that warmed the place up. I even toasted a few marshmallows while Nathan was out sawing apple branches. We didn't have enough wood for all night, so it got kind of cold last night. This morning I turned the oven on for heat. It might not be a bad idea to keep some firewood on hand for the future. A cord or so should do it I imagine.
