Friday’s storm brought winter, real winter. The temps since have hovered between 7 above to 10 below. The wind…. WOW! The cats have made very short trips outdoors, ears flattened against their heads, making them look like a strange new species of round headed cautious creatures, stopping frequently to lick their feet. I can’t convince them to walk with me, even just to the barn. The wood stove is cranking. I spent my time indoors spinning some cashmere and silk (from Foxfire) on the Hitchhiker. Strange bedfellows, but a perfect choice with the 14:1 ratio, so easy to pick up and move aside when it’s time for anything else. C and I finally got my work station finished. I measured and marked, he installed the doors and drawers and oh my… I love it. Today begins a new project, not conducive to having fiber pursuits going at the same time, woodworking makes such a mess, so much dust. I’ll ply.
My tracks zig zag like the fox, or the squirrel. I suffer today from yesterday’s walk in boots. I must remember, no pressure, nothing can touch my poor tendons. Ouch! But how, do I walk in the snow?

It looks so pretty – but cold!
Lovely photos- yes, it’s cold! That wind cuts like a knife and makes it’s way into one’s bones rather fast.
The snow is beautiful. We have the cold but no new snow. Stay warm, take care of your leg and enjoy your new work space!
I love the cabinets.
They are quite lovely.
Do you have custom cabinets in your Kitchen?

You got real snow! 🙂 We still have nothing but cold, and some ice.
Your poor tendons–I forgot about that. 🙁 I don’t suppose they make snow clogs?… 😉
Nice! It really isn’t enough to do justice to XC ski, and snowshoeing hurt my groin tendons. But the winter is enlivening and I feel ALIVE with the COLD and the STING and I LOVE IT.
Love your cat description.
What a beautiful work station and is that a dye bath I see before me? You are very lucky to have a dedicated area to create!
Oh, I love your work station!!! Just beautiful. Sorry it’s difficult for you to get around on the snow. Have you tried taping your tendon with athletic tape to give it support and protection?
I have never seen cats do that. Is it normal cat behavior in the cold? I’ve never had a cat in a cold climate.
Best wishes for your poor recovering tendons.
It’s great to be able to see your photos – I get to see the pretty without experiencing the reality.
Great workstation!
Hope the old tendons get better soon. At least you have a ready source of ice! 😉
Okay now THAT looks like VT in winter. It wouldn’t have seemed right if it totally bypassed y’all. We still have snow on the ground and cold temps here too.
The workshop looks absolutely PERFECT. I bet you’ll get a LOT of use out of that space.
owie 🙁
i LOVE your new work station!
How can you call it a “work station” ??
That is a “play station” by my standards!!
And a beautiful one at that! My compliments to the chef!
Are those sap buckets on the fence posts? Great photo!
Moccasins. They make some tall enough to come up to your knees and they would be soft enough not to irritate your tendon.
Wind can be a nasty part of winter. I don’t know if I’m going to get out today due to a very cold wind on a very cold morning.
I’m in love with the workstation. I would love a kitchen with that! Love your snow pics. Nice to catch up with!
Looks more like the winter we’d expect to see. Congrats on your new work space!
