A Month of Making :: February 9

Day 4 of snow.  We topped out at 18".  (Wow!)  

This morning, a layer of ice coated the powder and encrusted every branch and twig in a fragile crystal shell.  

The power was off when we woke - and would remain so until late into the night.  

Jeff set up our camp stove on the porch, and the coffee beans were ground with a mortar + pestle.  We're not sure if it was the method or the fact that we appreciated so much that it worked, but that cup of coffee was damn good!
