Where I live we got some serious snow (considering that we rarely get enough to play in) and it made me think of your beautiful world that you experience each winter. With this storm came MAJOR beach erosion but the waves were absolutely gorgeous! It seems that when we have big weather approaching, the animals go into a feeding frenzy so it became my job to keep the feeders all full (which I did)....then it was fun to do some cooking while the storm laid down the white stuff all day. Nothing like a big bowl of hot soup while watching the snow. Hope you are well and enjoying the beauty that surrounds you. <br />Chris<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878424457397188704.post-59561017401850726072016-01-24T17:46:40.883-09:002016-01-24T17:46:40.883-09:00ThanksThanksBushrat Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570574655402981278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878424457397188704.post-34082015337154281322016-01-24T16:40:31.939-09:002016-01-24T16:40:31.939-09:00Glad to hear your ok :)Glad to hear your ok :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878424457397188704.post-56627974906406781372016-01-24T15:27:00.772-09:002016-01-24T15:27:00.772-09:00Thanks Bert, it was quite far away but, it shook m...Thanks Bert, it was quite far away but, it shook my cabin pretty good.

Still, spectacular dawns over Roadhouse and low fuel bills are a consolation. Had a "massive" 3 hour power outage, first in a couple of years. Nondalton is getting way too suburban. Carol is well and Paul and Susan plan to pull out and go to America in a month or so. Permanently. They have their place up for sale. I finally took a development lot above the Church and we are working to drain and fill it. Bringing in a trailer next spring as a starter. Miss you, stay well! Best for 2016.

My area is getting overrun. Frozen septic tanks can be a problem as well as water pipes. Last Summer, we saw 90 degree weather, way to hot.

As long as the sun is shining, I can pretend it's warmer. We've been pretty lucky here in the interior with the few and far between -20F days. I'm not complaining, but it makes me wonder what our summer will be like. I like a moderate summer - not a 80F summer. Of course, there are still many weeks left in winter. We could end up with a March like the one we had back in 2008 I think... we saw -40F for several weeks and everyone's septic tank froze up because there wasn't much snow to insulate the ground. That was terrible!<br /><br />Stay warm and safe John. I enjoyed your photos! Happy 2016! Susan Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500332874463941099noreply@blogger.com
