It's been a rough couple of weeks! Frigid cold followed by above zero temperatures and foggy days. It was not good for taking pictures or being outside at all. I did get a bunch of carving done, hunkered down in my man Cave with the heater on full. I got lots done on the Northern Shoveler carving, and I may been able to post some progression shots later in the week.  I did get the dogs out for walks a couple of times just to burn off some of their extra energy, but again it was in the fog and cold. I am starting to dislike winter a lot! We have a freezing rain warning in effect and it has been raining and freezing so that most things are now ice covered. Hopefully, it will switch to snow so that we can get around by morning. We have a work party scheduled at the Church tomorrow to install a second level floor above the foyer. It's a big job with 40 foot beams and very long floor joists. At least the work is inside. let's hope we can get there!
