I used the January thaw to get out the ladder and take down the Christmas garlands from the porch and carport. Some of the cables and a pair of wicker stars in the planters will have to wait, as they’re either buried under two feet of snow or frozen in a solid block of ice (or both).
The afternoon was delightfully spent figuring out the lace part of my Ishbel shawl with only brief excursions into the basement for a load of laundry and to lend the tiger an extra pair of hands for fitting the drywall sheets in the furnace room. Starting to look good down there.
