Gramma Camp in a time of COVID –Week 20 Wednesday

 I went down to wake the girls and told them the temperature outside! 

"At least you don't have to wait for the school bus in the cold!"

I thought we were in for something but it passed us by.

We watched the news, prior to breakfast. They showed healthcare staff getting the vaccine. "Oh, it's such a relief!" said Josephine.

 They were still sitting watching TV, and I said, "Weeeell..." hinting it was time for breakfast.

    "That's a deep thought!" said Grampa. "Don't let me dampen your enthusiasm!"

Momma and Papa took photos of their elf, Noël, for the girls.

Noël  was crying. The microwave has had the biscuit! They'll have to find one that matches the vent opening. (We had that problem!)  

Down at the trailcam... yes, I ventured down in -16 C. temps.

I took a close up of the pumpkin seeds. It looks like they eat one side of the seed and the hull. 

I found out who! mice friends from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo. It is an awful video, with terrible quality. I have officially replaced it with a new one I'm getting for Christmas!

The birdbath heater is obviously working!

This was from Dec. 15th, two days ago. 

Hydro outages

We dodged a bullet. The insulators are popping! That said, I've a fire going. We brought some wood in at our afternoon break. Just in case...

I saw a helicopter go by. A military one.They are noisy, and you can hear them coming.

Nothing on the Flight Radar, which is mysterious.  From a Twitter follower:  "that's a military helicopter are they required to register or run a transponder" HAH! They are frequent flyers. 😛

Well, there we go. I am officially old! Old Age Security! Apparently it takes a year for them to get their act together, when I will be 65. 

Isabelle did her regular afternoon run. I looked after the stopwatch.

We had a good day.
