| Full moon on February 8, 2020 |
Yesterday was the last day of Stay at Home Time, and boy it went out will a bang! On Friday morning we woke at 4:30 am (as usual) and could see some ice was on surfaces outside. At 4:45 am, sleet was hitting our windows. By 5:30 am it began to snow and snowed hard until late in the afternoon. Bob didn't go into work that day. The roads were terrible.

We ended up with 10-12" of snow on top of the ice. It was indeed, Stay at Home Time!
This afternoon we may break out the snowshoes and enjoy a jaunt on our property.

Traditionally, February 2 is the halfway mark of the winter. Old wisdom held that on that day you should be halfway through your woodpile and your provender. We're pretty good. A bit less than halfway on each. We should finish off the season just fine.

The second of February also marks Lunette's "Dogaversary". She's been with us for seven years now.
We've been working on our winter crafts.

| The desk in action |
Bob has finished repairing the desk...
 |
| New stand for cupboard |
...and has built a stand for the cupboard. Once the warm weather comes, I'll finish it to match the cupboard color.
 |
| Bean harvest for last summer |
I've finished threshing the beans. Ten gallons, which should see us through until the next harvest is ready.
 |
| Cross stitch project continues |
I've also been working on my cross stitch, knitting and harp practice.
I'm taking my time with all three. They are all of a time consuming nature, and I'm enjoying the process.

That's about all of the excitement from our time of rest. It will be time to rev up our activity soon. Until then, we continue to rest, and hope that you'll do the same. Nature knows rest is necessary, so go ahead and don't feel guilty. You'll just be doing what is natural.
Till next time, we bid you rest,
Kathleen, Bob and Lunette
