| Our Creek on January 24th |
Before I begin, I'd like to thank everyone that took the time to reach out to us regarding Lunette's passing. It was much appreciated.

Another month passes with tonight's full moon. Even though we're just ending the month of Cold Time, the thermometer claims otherwise. Actually, this weekend is predicted to be the coldest weather of the season. We've been in a snow drought this season, but there is some snow on the ground right now. I want snow in January and February, a little in March. By April, I don't welcome it so much.
Well, this month could have been called "Finish It Up" month.

| An assortment of the beans we grow |
I finished threshing out the beans; 11 gallons altogether.
 |
| Bob's sweater done |
I finished Bob's sweater. That's not a "muffin top" he's sporting. He simply has on the requisite four winter layers underneath. We call it his artificial fat. Easier on the heart than the real thing!

| Mini rug in the doll house dining room |
My mini rug is done. I started it in March
And last, but certainly not least, the pantry is done! Here are some before and after pictures.

| North wall before |
The north wall before...

| North corner after |
...And here's that corner redone.

| South west corner before |
The south west corner before...

| South west corner now |
... And here's that corner now with the new closet. The retractable clothesline and folding drying racks are neatly concealed in the closet.
 |
| The new south wall with windows |
 |
| South east corner before |
Remember that lovely carpet?
 |
| South east corner now |
This is how that corner looks now.
 |
| North east corner. Look at that sunshine! |
So the entire project is done! Everything is set back up and in use. We're pleased with the results and are glad that job's done!
Now we'll take a little "breather" before beginning the next project. We still have the laundry room, upstairs bathroom and the east wall spanning the dining room and kitchen. We're still trying to decide which one to tackle next.
In the meantime, we'll rest a bit, do some thinking and planning and keep the woodstove and the cooking stove busy.
Hunker down, do some reading and thinking, and restore yourselves. We'll check in with you at the next full moon.
Kathleen and Bob
