I took the winter off after Hurricane Irene blasted us at the end of August.  All is repaired except for a few dents and holes in the outbuildings including the shop roof.  I have an upcoming blacksmithing course at JCC Folk School April 22.  My shoulder is still sore from the Fall clean-up but it should hold up.  Old age isn’t for sissies.  I like the quote I got off Facebook from Big Blue.

“He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
– St. Frances
