The past month has included holidays, many cold days (down to -38 F on the ridge…not much inversion), visitors, continued activities and wildlife.

It was great to have visits from long-moved-away friend Ezra – to both Joan and Niilo – and from Robin & Pauline, commemorating their wedding 30 years ago in the Koponen kitchen.

Weatherization has made a beneficial difference in heating bills! We are in awe of the birds, moose, and other wildlife that carry on outdoors.
