# Photos from February 2023

![A woman, dressed in pajamas and a winter hat, is sitting on a sofa reading a book, surrounded by the softly lit warmth of a log cabin.](https://dri.es/files/cache/miscellaneous-2023/reading-a-cookbook-in-pajamas-640w.jpg)
*The winds are howling, the snow is swirling, and frost is creeping upon the cabin's windows. But a love for cooking means she is always exploring cookbooks.*

![A log cabin nestled among trees, set in the evening's darkness, its interior lights reflecting on the snow and creating a peaceful atmosphere.](https://dri.es/files/cache/miscellaneous-2023/remote-cabin-in-vermont-640w.jpg)
*We're spending the weekend at a remote cabin in Vermont. You can't tell from the photo, but the temperature dropped to -17°F \(-27°C\).*

![A glassblower molding red-hot glass using a long rod and a large, special knife. He is seated on a wooden bench, surrounded by tools.](https://dri.es/files/cache/miscellaneous-2023/glassblower-640w.jpg)
*A glassblower at Simon Pearce in Vermont. I bought some handblown Negroni glasses.*

![Plants on a kitchen windowsill, basking in warm sunlight.](https://dri.es/files/cache/miscellaneous-2023/afternoon-light-kitchen-640w.jpg)
*This summer, we're moving out of the apartment that I've owned for almost twenty years. Leaving will be tough as we have made countless memories here. Before we move, I want to capture some photos of the things I love about our apartment, such as the warm afternoon light in the kitchen shown in this picture.*

![A woman is standing inside a large fireplace that is currently being rebuild. She is enjoying a baked treat while taking in the scene around her.](https://dri.es/files/cache/belgian-barn/fireplace-conversion-640w.jpg)
*Vanessa eating a frangipane while standing in the fireplace. We are in the process of downsizing the original, massive fireplace into a smaller one. We are also converting the open-faced fireplace to a closed one. The new fireplace will be both safer and more efficient.*
