Finally got the slate down. Makes the place look a lot more finished. Still have the bathroom tile to do as of May	This was first winter with plants growing in the greeenhouse. The heat system was not really in place [saga of the leak in the water bag; waiting for the solar contractor; did get under-bed heating in] and kale and a few other plants made it fine. Used a space heater when it was 35 below, but otherwise kept above freezing.	The girls fresh from grooming (the dogs, not Karen).
The oyster mushrooms were plentiful this year and extended into early June. recipes	..	..	..
