Periodic puppy pics

Just a gratuitous shot of Callie in the woods. She was patiently waiting for me to finish taking pictures of the wood piles and cut trees on the path we often take down to the valley below. There was a lot to sniff and inspect, but she was still ready to move on before I was.

Callie's ready to continue down the hill.

Our nights continue to be cold and the sleeping is good. But it sure is hard to get out of the warm flannel sheets in the morning. I'm glad we have the central heating to get the house up to temperature each day. Having to build a new fire in the cold and dark every morning is not something I'd like to do. Of course, if that were necessary, I'd probably have a different kind of stove that would keep the fire smoldering over night so it would only need a few new logs to get it going again. I would have made a lousy pioneer.

  1. Speaking of Pioneers... have you seen the ad for the two new "Chez McDo" burgers in France? One is called the "McFarmer", and the other is called the, "McPioner"... that's right... no double-e :)

  2. I would have made a lousy pioneer, too. It's currently 16C and it still going down below 10C at night. My blood has definitely thinned. I'm freezing!

  3. Don't you just love flannel sheets? One of the best parts of winter is sliding into those warm, comforting sheets on a chilly night

  4. Hi, Walt. You've mentioned in the past that some of the neighboring houses in your hamlet are not occupied year-round. How do they keep their pipes from freezing during these cold snaps?

    1. dean, many folks leave their heating systems on what they call "hors-gel," a very low setting to prevent freezing.
