Today the weather was a bit better. We got a little gardening in and I got the boards to finish the trim in the kitchen (I hope). It’s still too cold to stain outside and the floor should still not have much traffic.

It was nice to see the partly cloudy skies today – here is the stand of white pine trees that made this farm seem like home when we first saw it. The pines we planted to the north 7 years ago are now visible from the blacktop about a mile away if you look real hard. It’s good they are growing as the older ones are starting to fall (literally)
