It sure feels like spring out there! The sun is finally above the white pine, so our greenhouse is back in action. With a fire, it got up to 82 this week when it was only 30 outside! Without a fire, when it was around 43 outside, it was 68 inside. Amazing how powerful the sun is in February. Even got the solar panels working again. Just in time to help charge the snowblower batteries for the blizzard that is supposed to come in a few days.
Amélie had a really special week. She got to spend the night at French Claire's, learning to make puff pastry among other things, and spent the day with her on Tuesday instead of going to school. She brought home some delicious treats! Then on Friday she had a baking day with Naomi and they made a Valentine's treat from the town where Naomi's mom grew up.
On Saturday we went down to Escanaba and had a great Valentine's lunch. The girls will stay there until Monday. They have a long weekend. Snow club was fun on Thursday as well. Abigail is getting better on the snowboard, but she had one or two good wipeouts. Amélie seems to develop a preference for cross country skiing, so maybe we will give that a try next year instead of downhill. Lift tickets are expensive!
I managed to finish the ceiling and got started on the walls. Should be able to wrap those up this week, although the lighting will be tricky. Then it's onto the sawdust toilet.
