Keeping Busy In The Winter

Troy and I got out on a trail this week. The weather was great and snow conditions were fast for skiing We headed to Woodruff to the Madeline Lake Trail 15 minutes from the resort Down the trail we went. I did not take pictures of Troy going downhills happy to report except for one big hill all was good Scenery along the trail Our roofs are having trouble with ice build up at the edges from a big rain we had back in December. We are getting ice jams Jake came up to help us get the edges free of snow so they melt It was quite a job Escaping the city of Green Bay it was nice to spend some time at the woodshed too. He and Sarah can claim 2 or 3 piles in the shed as their work Troy filling up the bins to get ready for the weekend. We have more snow in the forecast. Winter is far from over I had another sock machine find its way to my door. This 1902 Gearhart is the 5th machine I have paired up with a new owner who is thrilled to learn the craft of sock making With the 5 machines that I have found homes for and the 8 that that have found a home at the resort and one other that went as parts to a sock machine mechanic brings the total machines to 14 that have come across my door step It is fun to bring them back to life and introduce the craft to more people. Make is just happy it involves laying on the floor by the wood stove and watching. Did someone say the words "Bacon"
