Our weather continues to be intense. The sun was beautiful this morning, then vanished as has been its habit. I’ve put off more bird photos for a day while figuring out the new lens.

We’re trying out our new stove tonight; it looks fine. No more rat sightings; we both feel Bud has found the kind of work he lives in – hunting rodents. He’s in his element.

The King on his throne. He naps here during the day when he can keep an eye on things. If it’s cold at night, he heads for the heated cat house in the barn. We are doing well in our campaign to spoil him rotten.

Fate with her sheep, awaiting instructions.

The morning sky was gorgeous, above and below.
