Polar Vortex & Barry

It's a bit of a shock here. Outdoors, at least. The polar vortex is gruesome for any living thing outdoors. It slowly went down as we were watching our evening movie Thursday. At 4:30 p.m. it was -11 ℃ and it slowly went down. By 8:30 p.m. -17 ℃. This morning I checked the temperature and was -19 ℃. 



📺We were watching a BBC TV series called The Gold this week. A huge gold heist in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England 1983. What a saga. There is suspense, and a female cop in the Flying Squad seconded to the task force. It is based on a true event, the Brinks-Mat robbery. An epic theft of £26 million in gold. My entertainment/activity director found it for us!

🐇There was a line up for the bathroom at 2:38 this morning. I took the opportunity to look outside at the moon. There was poor little Labbit desperately looking for food under the bird feeder. I felt so badly for her.

The indoor fun keeps us amused during these dark winter nights. Joseph Brian continues to redecorate or rearrange his displays. He turns them on at dusk, and off at bedtime. This is iteration #2.


Lots of critters have disappeared. Some for good reason! Barry Beaver is frozen in. This is the path down the hill, in the water to his lodge. This is before, with the spot where he comes out of the water.

and after...
 


Yes, frozen over. 

The lodge is in the middle, in the background. I did not venture down Thursday, this is from Wednesday, when it was a balmy -5 ℃!
