Existentialist Ennui a.k.a. Cabin Fever

Waiting for Spring


An earlier photo of Molly captures the mid-Winter mood

After the tease of 50 degree weather over several days during the "January thaw", Winter is back. It was -5 F this morning and will be pretty cold for the next few days. The landscape is re-frozen and it's back to layer upon layer of clothing for the morning walk. Weather this cold puts the dogs at risk for frostbite which means dog boots which are a real ordeal to put on the dogs prior to venturing out. Bottom line? Abbreviated walks for the last couple of days which means bored dogs and owners. At least the snow is really crusty, so you can get by without snowshoes most of the time. The up side is that I've been getting lots of work done in the shop and should have photos of our new entertainment center within the next couple of weeks. I know everyone is just breathless waiting for that, but you'll just have to be patient.

Molly feels honored that she has made the blog, finally.

We are waiting breathlessly for the photos because it means that one more thing is done and that means that you are getting closer (albeit not very close) to making something else for us. We need kid friendly bookshelves like the ones at the library. Design away!
