Well, that was 2014

Jezebel and Onyx enjoying a Christmas morning nap.
Just a quick note: I usually like to post more than I have lately, but December flew by, and for the last week and a half I’ve had a really awful cold. Christmas day was very foggy in my brain! I’m on the mend, now, and the New Year looks better.

Wishing everyone out there a very happy 2015!

November endeth

With the cold weather and the addition of good seed to our finch feeder, we’ve noticed more birds in general. The dining room window is the perfect spot to keep an eye on them!
001
Eyeing up the tragically flawed cat feeder.
We had to make one short trip to the cottage to offload some laundry and a bunch of building materials cluttering up the basement. Not much “buildy” stuff gets used at home. The basement is a small space to work in and cold as anything in the winter!
007
You can see all the small branches that have fallen.
We found a lot of branches down, but the only big ones were from the dead tamarack.
004
The bay, mostly frozen.
A lot of the lake is lightly frozen, but there are gaps at the edges.
002
Wah! My tree! Gonna miss it.
Yep, the top of the tamarack blew off! About the top six feet or so. I sure hope we get it cut down at New Years as planned.
006
When it fell, it just shattered to pieces.
It must have been quite a wind, as the top of the tree landed at least 40 feet away.

It's Winter....

 Not a fan, but winter is something one survives (hopefully) so that spring may occur. I miss Stitches, very much. Fortunately, we have Jasp...
