Yesterday we had the great benefit of direct sun. It was such a treat in the often overcast skies of winter in western Montana. We made sure to make use of it by being outside and tending to some projects ahead of what looks to be more rain and snow coming up this week.

What an interesting juxtaposition to go from having spent the last five winters in So Cal where the sun shines nearly all the time and I found myself dearly wishing for gray days to support my need for hibernation and downtime, to being back home in Montana where seeing the sun is cause for celebration :)

P.S I've been trying to upload a pic to this post to no avail. Using our cell booster antenna to get internet access via 4G on our phones has many limitations and ongoing frustrations. (Satellite internet is in our future.)

I decided to put my small exercise bike on our covered porch so I could use it through the winter. Best idea ever! When living in the small it's good to think outside of the box. Now I can get a bit of movement while enjoying the snowy scenery of the lovely woods (and often also whilst reading a good book).

With the fresh cord of wood we just had delivered recently, using an axe to chop it to size just wasn't cutting it. So we tooled up this week and bought a hydraulic wood cutter to make things easier. I used it for the first time today. Works great and is easy to use. This will be an important member of team EM this winter :)
