We are under a Winter Storm Warning.
1 inch forecast for today.
6-12 inch forecast for overnight/tomorrow.
Frightful!
Extra wood, snowshoes, shovel…at the ready!
We’ve already passed the 1 inch forecast.
Midday break in front of the fire…
But, out we go again!
Gah!!
Where did Bear go?
Following the path of least resistance…
Bear on Beardog Point.
Snow Bear.
Auggie is not interested in Beardog Point.
In and out.
Headed toward frightful!
The boys.
I am ever grateful at how well they do together.
Bear tolerates a LOT from Auggie.
I wish I could capture the moments when Auggie leaps on Bear…a kind of “tag, you’re it” thing around Bear’s neck.
And then there is the “five” or “ten” to Bear’s bottom.
Bear ignores it all.
Christmas Eve, Auggie went wild. He was from one end of the house to the other with an over Bear routine on the way.
Bear moved from his chair to the floor.
I called to Bear and he came to the bed…partly, I think because a neighbor was doing fireworks, but he came.
Auggie came on the bed also and jumped on Bear…laid on top of him and then moved to Bear’s tail. Bear looked to me, but did not do anything to Auggie.
I grabbed Auggie and spoke to him about respecting his elder brother…
All quieted.
The boys.
It continues to be warmer than is normal. The snow continues to melt. The sun pops out now and again…also some squirrels. I guess the squirrels are taking advantage of bare ground to further add to their food stores. They are also teasing Bear and Auggie by chittering from the trees.
That’s the varmint!!
Ferocious Beardog!
Yes, well…I don’t think the squirrel is up there, but a small bird is…
Bear has about had enough.
Time to relax on Beardog Point.
I’m not sure who the winner is here…
So, I’m still a bit out of kilter on my bedtime/wake up time, but it is better than it was! I’m in bed 7:30 ish and up 4:30 ish…BUT, I normally wake between 10 and 11:00 p.m. and Bear and I have a nighttime outing. I love being out especially the last few nights when it was crystal clear with a zillion stars.
But back to morning… I was up shortly after 4:00 this morning and got on a bit of a cleaning binge and then cruised a few food blogs while making coffee. I do mean a few as I’m down to a couple that I keep an eye on and a couple more that when I think about it, I look.
This morning, I looked at The Kitchn. And there was a link to the sister site Apartment Therapy – a post about sitting areas in the kitchen: Sitting nooks in small kitchens. I first thought: “How funny”. But, the photos were intriguing. I read the comments and it was kind of amazing how many said they had a reading nook in the kitchen.
Huh.
I looked at the dark corner where my little, uncomfortable table with 2 chairs sits…and I wondered…and then I rearranged furniture…at dark o’clock in the morning…
Right away, I thought: “NO! – I do NOT like this…not working.”
Then, I thought: “Well, maybe I’ll try it through Christmas.”
Shortly, I was kind of liking it.
I liked it more and more.
So…at least through Christmas and then ???
You never can tell what might work around the house.
I never get tired of seeing what happens on the dog bed…
No sooner had Margaret asked about fog at my house…
FOG!
Damp, dreary, fog.
All day.
Fog.
