The last day of the year seems to prompt reflection. The past year has been one of a series of years that seem to have all blended together. There have been big changes this past year so perhaps a new exciting year is in the offing. One can always hope!
I discovered this craft blog recently, CraftGossip.com. They have some great ideas! I finally have time to get back into some of the fun things I like to do - so I'm planning on making some of their projects. There are always more projects I want to do than I have time for - and there are a number of UFOs I absolutely need to finish, plus a number of books I'd like to read too.
Today is cold, 10 below, and cloudy. Supposed to be colder tonight. The lakes will be icing up for ice fishing shortly. We've got about 2 feet of snow. Snow machining and skiing are in full swing in the area. A few weeks ago some moose came to visit - right up to the windows. It's amazing how big they really are up close. We've seen lots of wildlife recently, especially elk. They're pretty good size themselves.

Greetings!
It is dusk here now and starting to snow. We have about a foot of snow on the ground now, although it's been snowing for days not much snow has been put down. We need the moisture badly, too many drought years in a row. The mountains are all blanketed with clouds and the neighbors' lights are barely visible. It hasn't been too cold, though, up into the 30's, so some snow has melted already.
Still, only one cat will venture out. The other prefers to sit by the fire and kept warm. The dog wants out, but then gets too cold and barks to be let back in. The chickens are warm in their coop and their run is wrapped in plastic so they get the light, but not the snow. They don't like to walk on the snow.
As the evening darkens, we won't be able to see anything outside, except for the closest lights, maybe. Perhaps we'll get a lot of snow this evening.
Here are some links to articles I've published:
