Hazy Day, Inside and Out

[Pretty sunset over the greenhouse]

January has been a grey and dreary month for the most part. When the sun comes out we dash into the meadow to catch some. A couple of nights ago, the sky cleared at sunset to give us beautiful colors.

Last night was pouring rain all night, the heavier-than-normal drops pounding on the tin rooves. I woke up to find the entire road in front of the cabins turned completely to mud. The little drainage channels we cut last week are making no difference at all.

Upon reaching the meadow, I saw that the rain isn't all bad. The hills are gorgeous with the mist swirling around them.

Haze in the house isn't as pretty. Instead of one person cooking for the rest of us tonight, we're having a potluck. Somebody got up early to finish in the kitchen before everyone else wakes up. Something dribbled in the oven and the whole house filled with greasy smoke.

The weaving is a little slow because of some strangeness with this beam. I've been taking pictures of the process to share in the next few days.
