The long winter

Just like many of you, we experienced one of the longest harshest winters ever this year. As luck would have it we had just moved into our new home late last summer and were busy just trying to get boxes unpacked and get settled throughout the fall not knowing we would be confined in our cozy (yet very small) house the entire winter. For most that doesnt sound a whole lot different from the normal winters we have in the midwest but for me spending the winter without a heated workshop for the first time in years made it seem like an eternity. That coupled with the extremely low temps and seemingly endless snow fall made it impossible to use my non heated workshop. I had so many projects to do over the winter but without a place to construct and finish them I was dead in the water. All the more reason that Sara and I are really hitting the ground running this spring. We have so many projects going on and in the works that this blog will be crammed full of pictures, information and of course entertaining stories by the time the first snow flake falls again. Everything from landscaping, gardening, construction projects, homebuilt furniture, organic gourmet cooking and maybe if I am lucky some automotive restoration can be squeezed in from time to time. Its going to be a busy summer but you dont chase rainbows sitting on your butt!!!
