It has truly been winter around here and goings on in the yard have been controlled by the weather. We had another Bomb Cyclone, Nor’easter followed by extreme cold followed by another snowstorm and then alternating freezing and thawing.

I feel like I am spamming you. Taking the pictures I aspire to require specific weather conditions. We had good picture taking weather and I am burdened with over four hundred pictures which is more than enough for another blog. Our workhorse cameras are Nikon super zoom point and shoot cameras. We acquired our first,

I didn’t intend to blog this soon but have enough stuff for a blog and so here we go. Our snow is basically gone, but before it went we had some really cold and windy days and nights. Benji is not a fan of the cold, For awhile he refused to go out and poop.

It is the second week of December 2021. We have all been vaccinated and had our boosters. The Omicron variant is on the horizon. This recovery seems to be stretching on and on. We are getting ready for Winter Solstice. We have adorned our Living Room with a Solstice Tree as per the customs of
