Cold Winter. Very Cold Winter.

What a winter! Not a huge amount of snow, but cold. As in COLD.



 A few weeks of single digit days and below 0 nights.

It did make for some pretty photos, though it was too cold to venture out and take very many.

We are very thankful for our wood stove, and the health to get in firewood. 

I've been kind of disappointed that most of the snow this winter has been so dry and fluffy. We need a decent snowman making snow! Maybe that will come in February.

We did finally get a January thaw. Check out this icicle that formed on the back of our shop during the snow melt. What a crazy angle! 

It's been a good winter to do what our new grandaughter is doing. Sleep! Ha!
At 2 months old, her favorite activities are eating, sleeping, and laying on the floor to wiggle.

And grinning.






































She is getting quite good at melting Mimi and Pappy's hearts.

By the way, I see in my last post that I showed the broken display window at the shop. We got it fixed, and the guys did a great job on it.





























This was it at Christmas. I need to get an updated one. Though I might need to wash the window first. And it's warmer, but not that warm!
