Hope everyone had a healthy and happy holiday season. Well, here we are launching into another exciting and productive year. We took a short break from working on the house last week, but that did not stop us from heading up there everyday (sometimes twice a day!) to check on things as the temps have plunged into the minus arena. Late in the week our water pipes froze, most likely down near the source, in the pump house. Steve came up and applied some heat tape, but still no water as of today as it is continues to be very cold. Hopefully it will begin to flow again this week or next if it warms up a bit. In the meantime, Matt will have to wash his brushes and rollers out off site.
Yesterday we brought the dogs up to romp around in the snow which they enjoyed, but I think they liked basking in the late day sunshine by the sliding glass door in the Rustic Room better!
Here's what Joel and I enjoyed...some wine and cheese at our new pub table and swivel chairs, also in the Rustic Room. I have a feeling that this is where we all will be spending lots of time once we settle into the house:) It felt kind of funny, though, trading in our summer chairs for our winter ones....
Lake Delta is certainly as beautiful in the winter as it is in the warmer weather. We cross country skied down our hill and onto the lake over the weekend. We were a tad nervous about the running water rimming the shore, but if you get up enough speed you just shoot right over it! No really. We waited a few days until it seemed safe enough to cross over. Had a blast!
