freeze, thaw, freeze, SNOW!

Let me start with a weather report:

We did Facetime with our Ottawa kids. Jordan gave Aster an interesting present. He switched the heads on these stuffies. Thrifted gifts! They are a hoot!



Aster and Jordan left treats out for Santa and the reindeer! Aster is applying for a student exchange in July, to Ireland! Jordan is looking at a summer work placement in Montreal. All great excitement.
 

The cats are fascinated with 75! He figured out how to leap onto the feeder.  

 


There are three black squirrels!

The wetland near Barry's lodge was wet again, after our rain. 


The fisher was by. Barry is safely tucked inside!

Apparently it was getting a drink or playing in the mud. 

I accidentally set this to take photos, not videos. Oh, well. Here is the fisher!

The frog pond melted and refroze!It's seldom cleared and flat.
We're back into the snow. You can hear the crunch of snow as the coyote trots on his way.

 

We had a lovely dinner yesterday. Another one is planned for today. I turn 69 today. 
There is snow on the way. We'll see you on the other side.

Three black squirrels! Should you report that to the rescue place that sent 75 to you? Yep, I remember those colorful monitors. Linda in Kansas

First of all, a very happy, happy birthday, you young thing! (Oh, to be your age again!) It looks like you had a white Christmas to be sure -- and a wonderful time with family. That's just the best. Merry Merry and Happy Boxing Day!

Happy birthday up there in the frozen North! 69....a cusp year. When I was 69 two of my sisters and I went to England for 2 weeks, my last trip overseas, sadly. But what a memorable time it was! I hope your 69th year us your best yet
Love that idea of switching the heads on the stuffies. That is very clever! I hope their plans for the coming year work out. So exciting to ve young, with all those possibilities ahead .
Stay warm!
