The Grand Duchess and I have canceled class for today and have gone skiing in Southern Wisconsin. Following an early rise and breakfast, we hope to be on the trail by 11am this morning. Back soon!
Here's a picture illustrating my (S-L-O-W) progress with the second company of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. You can see I'm doing things a bit differently this time, altering the painting process to keep it interesting basically. This evening, I'll do the white gaiters and, if that goes reasonably quickly, and time allows, the red breeches. Still lots to do, but I like the way these fine fellows are shaping up along side the completed 1st company that's standing in formation just off camera, to the left here. Until tonight then!

Lani just got an alert on her computer that we've got another "red screen" for a "snowfall warning" as two storms are due to collide over Vancouver Island. Another 10-20cm expected with winds up to 90kph creating localized blizzard conditions.
It should be noted that so far this season all of their snow predictions have been way too conservative.
On average our area has a 'white Christmas' once every eleven years . . . and this year it looks like we'll make up for the other ten.
