Y'all need to get on back to Texas so you can get some good pictures of bad weather!

...and they've got that in spades back there now.

My girls in DFW finally got their power back after two days. Luckily they were able to camp out at a friends' place. But I do feel like I'm missing out on some huge photo ops!

Yup, from what I gather on the news, things are pretty bad over there. Good luck to everyone there.

I forgot you guys when I posted, just in case you didn't see this elsewhere.

My afternoon....

My outdoor time starts , usually with feeding the birds.... Pine Grosbeaks are over wintering at our feeders this year. A neighbour 1 km away doesn't see them, but has an infusion of redpolls.

No a DA 18-135 game, but I'm telling story.

OK now the 18-135 images.

The next chore is chopping wood for the night and bringing it in, there's a wee bit of snow on top of the wood shelter

Both these activities involve throwing tennis balls to border collies.

Then the walk starts

Fungi

Fungi on a cut tree

Jesse and Tripper Dawg waiting at the 'New path cut off" to see which way we're going. They wait at every path intersection.

All three Border Collies , we got one of each colour to make a complete set. It's really hard to get the red one.

A leaf.

Tia at Beach Tree Corners, almost home. 5,000 Fitbit steps for the whole walk. Maybe 4 km. at Beach Tree Corner the Old School Road intersects with the Dolittle path, which takes us to our path which leads to our back yard. I rarely see Tripper after this intersection, once he realizes we're going home he just boots it, and waits for us on the porch.

It was a tough walk today, sections haven't been walked since the last snow fall, and I had to break trail, going up hill, (both directions in my pyjamas, for those who remember the ad.) I toss the ball almost the whole way. Forward for Tripper, backwards for Tia, so there's no confusion who's turn it is.

Nice shots normhead. . Doesn't look like you will run out of wood any time soon!

Birdseed maybe... wood, probably not.
