Temp 8F crop Dec 2024.jpg

On Saturday morning it was pretty cold, just 8F outside. I kept the wood stove going all day, but the masonry heater had gotten up to 150F during the night so it did well enough in the addition.

There was a heavy frost on everything when I pulled up the shades at 7AM.

The sun coming in the office door warmed someone’s tummy.

I spent all day making matching forms and trying to fill them out. I got the best part of 3 of them done. There’s still a VERY long ways to go. That binder is 2” thick…

Another Christmas movie arrived in the mail, so I watched that before bed while stoking both stoves. It’s to be another very cold night.

On Sunday my brother and I will jump the car and let it run to charge the battery. Then we will see what happens in the next few days. He also plans to dig all the parsnips and use some for parsnip chowder for supper. I’m not sure we can dig, as it’s been so cold. The ground may be too frozen… And there’s the binder to work on in between. My handwriting is bad enough that I’m attempting to type everything I can so it can be read.

It's a matter of luck to see the sun regularly even in this winter.

At least the sunshine will help warm up everywhere for sometime.

Afternoon sunshine really cheered things up! Larry knew the best spots in the house.
We could feel the cold coming in from China. It’s going to get quite cold this month.

good time to sleep with cat giving company and heat 🙂

I love the Sun's rays on your cat's tummy, he seems to love it.

It's really very cold but thank goodness that Larry could enjoy some sunshine filtering through the blinds.
