Aussie in summer- can be dry! Our dam is drying up but luckily most of our water tanks are full.

My 96 years young Mom sent me this photo from her former home in northern BC Canada. Now grandchildren are living there and invite her regularly for meals and visits from her senior care home. I built the little log gazebo 40 years ago. Still standing!

Today's walk in Iceland

After a warm December, January's temps have dropped and the wind was cooold on my face.

I got to say hello to some horses who are wearing their fuzzy winter coats.

A lovely moment this afternoon while stacking firewood. Black cypress pines (not actually pines) Such lovely tees - native to Central West NSW

Ice on the bird bath this morning Down Under. Wrapped up the citrus last night - hopefully frost hardier as they get older. Both fires going this morning as the old had had no insulation. Yet…
