We’ve had a warm winter so far and we were hoping to get by without plowing any snow this year but it wasn’t to be. The weatherman was promising only a couple of inches of the white stuff and we were very surprised to wake up in the middle of an all-out blizzard and six inches of powdery whiteness on the ground. I did a quick first plow before the crew arrived this morning so they had a place to park and could make it back to the shop without high boots. The snow and wind continued through the morning and into the early afternoon, dumping another six inches of snow. Then the sun came out and it was beautiful once again. I did a second plow in the sunshine. We are promised a little more of the white stuff tomorrow afternoon and then it will warm up enough to turn to rain sometime Friday. I am now officially ready for spring!
Winter sunset
Yesterday, we enjoyed a spectacular sunset as we came in from the shop out back. This was the view to the west with our giant walnut tree silhouetted by the brilliant sky colours. Amazing!
Scaffolds gone!
It was a landmark day inside the North Star suite as the last scaffolds were taken apart and removed at long last. While at it the crew did a general cleanup and removed all unnecessary supplies and tools. we can now walk freely throughout the multi-level room and see from one end to the other. The next few days will be spent doing the last of the glazes and touchups. The electrician comes on Monday to install the fixtures and then we will see the room in the proper light. Stay tuned…
