It was a warm day… it actually rained for a bit… rain on snow means mush everywhere and ice when it cools down again. I pursued some indoor projects… My Indian room has needed curtains since I moved in. I’ve repurposed the original lined draperies into a bedskirt and today I made a pillow case…

Good Things
My, oh, my! I’ve a couple of videos for you… but I didn’t come in here soon enough to accomplish that! After fussing and researching, I decided, once the sun was out and it was a balmy 45˚, to go ahead and break into my new hive and see the conditions. I had worried that…
