ancient woodstove is keeping us toasty, tho. (a little too toasty, sometimes! 🔥) (at Fillmore County, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKeT4e_DXPX/?igshid=86j7w7mzvbfr

it's snowing! forcast is between 8 and 15 inches, lol. ❄️❄️ (at Fillmore County, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKeTucOjIGB/?igshid=6ecb321vkr36

mim and i got our spinning wheels oiled today. 😊 now we've got something to do when it snows next week. lol. good thing i have a lot of wool! it felt really nice to go outside and walk around a little! i've been recovering from covid for a week now and i'm finally looking for projects to work on rather than being exhausted from staring at the wall, lol. the yarrow is poking her head above the snow, and it looks like my ephedra is doing better than i thought it would be overwintering wise. so i'm happy for that, too. 😊 (at Shickley, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJo0NWnDOR3/?igshid=1f5mieljwxso4
