We finally finished the floor – we put up the trim, cleaned up, and arranged the furniture. It looks beautiful! It’s a great space for Mike to work and play music, it’s an extra guest room, and it’s still a good place for drying seeds or doing other projects that need a lot of space.

We also put a hood up over the stove in the kitchen – it should keep the kitchen cleaner and gives us more light on the stove.

It was another snowy few days – not much accumulation, but lots of flurries and an inch or so of new snow. I got more of my odds and ends of seeds planted. I love walking around, scattering seeds, and imagining what the plants will look like when they all come up. I didn’t take any outside photos this time – too many house projects!

We did find a great vignette in the snow – a grouse coming in for a landing – we could see its wing prints as it landed and its footprints wandering away into the woods.

As we were driving away, 3 Bald Eagles flew up from near the creek. One flew up right out of the creek next to the driveway – I think it must have been fishing.
