Poodle and Puddles

The "dry wash" is running again with water. This is the third time we have known it run in about 10 years.

Ice in the Hottub

Gary, chopping and chomping at the ice!

It has been near zero for quite some time and the hot tub froze up pretty good. Today was around 50 degrees and felt wonderful!

Cold and Windy ~

It has been cold, mostly because of the strong winds. We went on several rides with the dogs and had 2 propane heaters going. The dogs were bundled up in their coats with an extra blanket. Donner and Harley got to see several pygmy rabbits. We saw many, many animal tracks in the snow. It looks like we may have a fox around again. The wood rat has built a very stylish 3-tiered nest in his tree. Donner found the carcass of a dead robin. Harley found the bones of the turkey carcass I burned in the fire pit after Thanksgiving. Tycho is almost 18 yrs old now. He is still eating good, but stays inside most of the time. Bitty, the cat takes care of himself and is sometimes outside all night, but sleeps inside during the day. No campfire tonight...we sat in the cabin and told stories.

Two of my babies. Aren't they cute?!
