Despite the recent presence of polar bears on the trail - during the annual Winter Tracks Festival last weekend, which was a great time for all! - we're starting to think about spring here at Rockwood.
Mike has been working on the sauna building (and riding his snowmobile back and forth from the shop to the sauna and back again - sure beats walking!) and figuring out how to install the new stove. Mostly he works for a while, thinks for a while, works for a while and thinks for a long while, but it's coming.
In the meantime, Lin is really thinking spring. All she could think about when we moved into the owners' cabin at Rockwood was, "WOW, a GREENHOUSE LIVING ROOM!" Lin's always wanted a greenhouse and this south facing room with all the floor to ceiling windows is the next best thing, So... this week all the "dead" planters came up from the basement storage area, the plants got cut back and cleared of dead leaves and blooms, fertilized, watered, and set on the floor in front of the windows. Just a few planters - somewhere between 30 and 40 of them, mostly with teeny little baby leaves and a few blooms. With a little luck and a little care and a lot of sunshine and water we'll have lots and lots of pretty flowers again this year at Rockwood!
