A Cold Start to the New Year

I should NOT be complaining.  

I just read Donna's post at "Our Forest Haven" and it was 

35 degrees (Fahrenheit) BELOW zero in Ontario today. 

I salute you!  I do not know if I could cope with it at 

this stage of my life. 

Oh... and they found Bigfoot trail on their 

property.  

:Thank you for bringing us some warm water this morning, Maa Maa."

"You're welcome, Winnie" 

The thermometer said 25, but I did not let the old henhouse 14 out this morning. 

You see the producing girls ganged up at the door, expecting me to open it... but 

it would have invited the starlings in by the score.  You see their handiwork on the sides of the drywall.., remember, this was a little building used by the pickers here at the strawberry farm before it was a henhouse.  They sulked. 

What's left of the bantams in this house were up in the rafter, Black Tail the hen, and the 

three elderly roosters. 

The sun struggled to come through, to no avail, so we will miss the historic full moon of January 1. 

But the Northern Flicker's visit cheered me up! 

Well, it's 6:03 PM and I have just spent fifteen minutes looking for the pictures I took this afternoon.  They are imported, but I cannot figure out where the camera program for the Canon put 1/1/14.  

It is snowing out, and now is iffy if Abby will make it to her appointment for her dental tomorrow, as I may not be able to get the HHR out of the driveway early, even with 2 inches of snow. 

The camera picture above is from the Wildgame critter cam... and the above pictures were taken 

today, but for some reason, my camera reads the morning picture's as yesterday's.  

Hmmmm. 

If I find those pictueres, I'll add to this post!  

Everyone stay warm!
