Winter's here, again, and seems to want to hang out for awhile, this time, which is fine with us. It snowed Sunday evening-about 5 inches worth-and it continues off and on (melting some in the "off" times) and will probably continue for the rest of the week. Snow and power at the same time! Doesn't get much better than that!
So, with that as a backdrop, here are a few items of interest:
Dylan sent me this link on Monday. His furniture business is slowly picking up some steam. An online home decor catalog, Artful Home, which has carried a couple of his pieces for several months, has featured the "Twist" shelves on the homepage. It's resulted in an order, already! https://www.artfulhome.com/ Check it out!
You know that these hills are alive with music (ha!)! Sometimes, though, it's hard to pry ourselves out of our cozy house on a cold, dark winter's evening. Saturday evening, however, we overcame our inertia to hear some amazing Celtic music at a venue here in Grass Valley! Kevin Burke, an incredible fiddler (used to play with the Bothy Band back in the day) was appearing with his musical cohort, Cal Scott, a virtuoso guitar and mandolin player. We loved every minute! They were funny and interesting besides being crazy good musicians. Lots of jigs and reels, but also ballads and original stuff. A wonderful concert in a smallish setting! Check them out, if you like that sort of music (of course you do!) http://www.kevinburke.com/

I love these links! At least one of them, I've posted before, but it's worth another look, anyway. Enjoy!
Rachel sent this one, yesterday. Hilarious! Especially for those who know NYCity.
