Morning, Folks! Remember, even a cloudy day can bring the brightest ideas—so don’t let the weather set your mood.
The weather for today: Partly sunny with a high of around -4°C (26°F). Clouds will dominate later in the day, but it won’t feel as cold as earlier.
Tonight: Expect cloudy skies to continue, with temperatures dipping to -6°C (21°F). A calm and chilly evening ahead.
Tomorrow (Saturday): A little light snow is expected in the morning, likely with little to no accumulation (around 1–2 cm). The rest of the day will alternate between clouds and sunshine. High near -1°C (30°F) and a low of -7°C (19°F).
Stay cozy, and maybe keep a cup of something warm close by!
Highway 522 is bare this morning, though I’ve noticed some icy spots here and there. When we headed to town the other day, we saw a few deer crossing the highway. It’s a good reminder to take extra care, especially during the evening hours. Some folks get frustrated with deer being so close to the road, but I always say, “We’re the ones infringing on their territory.”
On another note, I managed to spend the whole day in my woodworking shop yesterday. I picked out all the Yellow Pine boards for my wife’s new harvest table, then got busy cutting them to size and gluing them together. I didn’t expect to get that much done, but things worked out pretty well despite a few hiccups along the way.
Now, I’m planning to put our old table and chairs up for sale on Kijiji in a day or so. It’s a round oak table with four oak chairs, all with nice flat backs. A real solid set. The reason for selling is simple—we don’t need two tables, and we don’t have the room for both. If anyone’s interested, it’ll be priced to sell. Let us know!
Today, well—I’ll be removing the clamps from the tabletop I glued up yesterday and tackling the mess it left behind. There’s glue everywhere, and it’s clinging on like it owns the place. Once that’s cleaned up, I’ll get busy fitting the legs and such. Slowly but surely, it’s all coming together.
Over the years, I’ve learned that when it comes to woodworking, you’ve got to take it slow and easy. Rushing only leads to extra firewood for the wood-stove—and trust me, I’ve warmed the woodworking shop with a few “learning experiences” in my time!
So, once again, it’s time for me to head off and enjoy the breakfast my wife is preparing for me. With the cold weather outside, I’m especially looking forward to a hot cup of cocoa made with almond milk for a change. No sugar—just what I need at this point in my life.
You all have a great day. And don’t forget to take time to enjoy the little things, keep moving forward, and remember—it’s the small moments that make life big.
“Until next time—keep your minds open and your stories alive!” GW
