Puttering
What does one do in a place without electricity, internet, cell phones, or even a working landline? (“Working” being the important word, since we no longer have a phone but rely on our neighbor’s intermittent line.)
An aspect of cabin living at a slower pace is the concept of puttering. Puttering is aimlessly doing a bit of this, a bit of that.
Sometimes I just start polishing our wood stove.
Sometimes I rearrange the collection of peculiar found items and pretty rocks.
Occasionally I wander around with my camera, looking for new angles and ways the sunshine hits things.
Recently I was curious about the various temperatures of all the flowing water. So, we walked around with a thermometer and recorded the temperatures, then played a guessing game with neighbors as to which was the coldest, and which was the warmest*.
Easily entertained, yeppers.
*Warmest: Chihuahua; Coldest: Spring Creek

I assumed Cold Springs would be the coldest!!
We didn’t check Cold Springs, only Spring Creek, the Honeymoon Cabin, the bridge, Chihuahua, and Monarch.
