"I like the word 'indolence.' It makes my laziness seem classy." - Bernard Williams
It would seem that every year around this time I experience "seasonal transition disorder." If this ever becomes a real thing, remember where you heard it first! Symptoms may include but are not limited to the following: wanting to do nothing more than to settle in on the couch with a good book or movie all day every day, napping 2-3 times a day, and/or an aversion to engaging in any activity that requires concentration or effort (see the date of my last blog!). Treatment of this disorder varies from subject to subject. This year, I found my cure with our first snow. Now, I am not necessarily someone who loves the snow but this year I found it so refreshing!

Now that it has snowed, we are getting some activity at our bird feeder. A couple of nuthatches were our first customers. We have added a suet bird feeder this year and they are loving it! They are also fearless little birds and let us get really close. Jason tried feeding one out of his hand but, alas, he is no Cinderella.

During this period of indolence, Jason and I were able to complete a project that I had been thinking about doing for a while, a wood pallet headboard for our bed. Being an avid pinterester, I had seen this on many posts and thought that would be great for our room and definitely within our abilities. It was also an affordable option. We spent less than $30 on supplies but we had some spare lumber and staining supplies on hand. We figure we would have spent less than $50 total if we would have had to buy everything. Jason hooked me up with some pallets and physical labor and I provided the supervision. It turned out great and now we are planning some matching nightstands!

Now that I am in motion, I should stay in motion. More projects, more cooking, more blogs!
Alaska Fun Fact: The record snowfall in Alaska was set at Thompson Pass, north of Valdez
the winter of 1952-1953. That year 974.5 inches of snow fell there.
