Visitors showed up today for lunch. The pickings out in the fields must be pretty sparse.

It's been freaking cold here for the past two months, but the Lord compensates for that with wondrous views like this. This morning's sunrise.

Smile for the camera! This mama and fawn pair have been around our property all year. We watched this little one grow up over the summer. Even though she saw me taking her picture, she didn't move from her spot until she had her fill. Mama watched from the tree-line behind her and didn't seem concerned about me, either.

Feb 1 Sun Dogs

We had a pretty good blizzard here yesterday and last night, with winds gusting to 90km/h. When the sun came up this morning, the wind had calmed down a little bit and it was pretty cold. But, the sky was clear and the sun was accompanied by two bright "sun dogs".

The Homestead on December 11, 2016
Had a bit of a cold snap here, for the past week. The snow has arrived and has settled in for the season, apparently. But, we have lots of split firewood and our little wood stove is keeping us warm and snug, in our tiny house.
