<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://explorewhitefish.com/" target="_blank">Whitefish, Montana</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.</p><p><a href="https://juliachildfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Julia Child</a> charmed the icing right off my cake with her singular voice and culinary life story. Julia said, “<i>Every woman should have a blowtorch</i>.” I imagine she meant a kitchen blowtorch for caramelizing sugar, blistering peppers or melting cheese.</p><p>Julia came to mind some years ago when I was working as a shepherd at Juniper Moon Fiber Farm. One summer day it fell to me to clean out the elevated chicken coop. With my bandit-style kerchief in place I scrubbed the floors and walls with a wire brush before flooding the coop with a hose to wash out all that dust and debris. Now, how to get it dry? Blowtorch!</p><p>We happened to have a professional grade propane blow torch on the farm. I fired it up, aimed it inside the coop, and using a sweeping back and forth motion it was soon dry as a bone. What I remember is the sense of accomplishment I had.</p><p><strong>Story Prompt</strong>: Imagine you got your hands on your very own blowtorch?
