I hope everyone had a wonderful start to this New Year.<\/p>\n

I spent most of the first week taking down all the Christmas decor and replacing it with some winter decor. \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> It took us a hot minute taking everything down.\u00a0 We bought all new “bug proof” bins so, I had to spend time reorganizing and labeling everything.\u00a0 It was a lot of work but, it will be worth it next year.<\/p>\n

I also spent some time purging closets and cabinets all through the cabin.\u00a0 It felt good to purge and reorganize.<\/p>\n

We took a huge hit on the 10th of January.\u00a0 Just 5 days after celebrating her 13th birthday Teenie left us to go be with her brother Herc.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>We asked her to hang on for fire weather, for the holidays and then, her 13th birthday.\u00a0 She did as we asked of her.\u00a0 We are devastated still.\u00a0 She was such a trooper this past year.\u00a0 She, too, had to learn how to navigate without her brother.\u00a0 They were littermates and she only knew how to exist with him by her side.\u00a0 She was a brave girl.\u00a0 We gave her our undivided attention for a whole year.\u00a0 It was beautiful.\u00a0 Al and I had only been dating for a few months when these guys came into our lives.\u00a0 We don’t know how to do it without them.\u00a0 We are navigating through it slowly though.\u00a0 The labs keep the void filled for moments throughout our days.<\/p>\n

Speaking of labs, we finally got their “lab”oratory started.\u00a0 We had some pretty cold weather coming and Al wanted to get it at least livable.\u00a0 It is insulated and there are heating pads in both houses.\u00a0 Once the trim is complete, then it will be stained and chinked to look just like the cabin. \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We did get some snow!\u00a0 It was only a dusting but, it was oh so pretty.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We will spend these winter months planning our garden for Spring, chopping firewood, finishing up the basement and relaxing and resting as much as possible.<\/p>\n

I believe I am caught up! Yay!<\/p>\n

Stay warm and well.<\/p>\n

XO,<\/p>\n
