| Our snowy woods |
Stay at Home/Cleansing Time is now past us. We've had another 12" snowfall since the last update and the temperatures have been mostly seasonal. We got out snow shoeing a couple of times and really enjoyed ourselves.

Work has continued on the laundry room.

I've got the ceiling, walls and most of the trim painted.

Bob has the new thresholds installed. He hand milled the wider one from an extra antique floorboard, so that it would match the adjoining room.

Now he is installing the trim. After he's done, I'll fill nail holes and seams and touch up the paint.

After Bob finishes putting up the trim, he will make the door that will fill the doorway seen above. This will be a "barn door" type of door because the room configuration will not accommodate a conventional type of door. We should have pictures of this in the next update.

This has been the month when we give more attention to really looking at our lives; our goals, habits, thoughts, etc. We try to hone our plans and determine what supports and what hinders them. It's the time to remove all that does not promote them. This leaves space for the new growth that the upcoming season may bring. It may be eliminating possessions, changing habits and thought patterns, leaving behind belief systems or relationships. All manner of things.
We have been thinking about our lives 10-15 years down the road. What physical changes may lie ahead and how can they be dealt with? What changes may need to be made? The changes may not be necessary yet, but it's good to have thought about them ahead of time. It will assist us to be able to consider, face and eventually embrace change that occurs.
Late winter is a good time to prune fruit trees - and lives - for better growth and productivity. Determine the shape you want, stand back and take a good look, and grab the pruners.
Till next time,
Kathleen and Bob
