Snow & Sky

I have the Jeep...could we get some snow that would be fun on the weekend? Instead of just enough the Fusion can comfortably handle it, but I still need to go clean off the snow-that-has-been-rained-on stuff while it is 40 before getting cold again for the rest of the week?


Deer licking road salt maybe?



Ran out to put the mailbox back up while it was still warm. 40 dropping into the teens overnight :/
















Circle around the block, but the light had already changed at the Pakulis farm :(. Of course I also didn't take my good camera with me, what gorgeous light this afternoon.

YouTube Link Megathread...

One place to store various links: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkH49VSLz2pPSeKFqUzkxxg

Reindeer Games...

Researching around...a full head isn't best to mount over a woodstove (too warm), and knowing my lack of weekly vacuuming something that would hold in a lot of dust probably isn't the best idea.

But antlers from Craigslist? We can do that!



Night I picked them up was Ro's 80th.

Kiya asked the name, I countered it didn't have a face...but settled on Ernie. From there it was short trip to Arvid :D
