Storming Again

There was a major storm forecast for yesterday evening, but I wanted to drive to Truro to borrow my mother's sewing machine so we could make some slipcovers for the new sofas. We looked at the forecast at lunch-time, and the snow looked like it was going to hold off for a few more hours, so I headed into central Nova Scotia for a quick trip to pick up the machine.

When I got back to Sackville, later in the afternoon, it was just starting to snow. That was fine by me - I intended to hole up inside the new restaurant and try to get several more hours of work done. We finished re-covering the vinyl chair bottoms last night, and that was about the most significant accomplishment.




Other than that, I moved some shelving and doors around and painted some of them, and did some cleaning and organizing, but not much else. I wanted to try to get home before midnight for a change, so I could be up early on Monday morning. The drive home was a bit of an adventure - this winter is already shaping up to be worse than most of the ones that we've seen in the past several years.
