From today's walk. The town on the horizon is about 15km (9 miles) away.

 February 2026 home photo.

Molly stopping to smell the anniversary flowers.

 

 A bit warmer temperatures recently, and some of the chickens don't mind coming outside (the youngest ones seem the most tolerant - all the red ones in the photo).

 Miss Maggie puts up with GingerSnap!'s antics when she is waiting for food.

 He made it safe and sound.

 Dropped our oldest son off at the airport so he could fly to the other side of the world for three weeks.

 Most days my only photo is of the sunrise.

 The chicken coop.

 She found it (this is a morning ritual for us on our way to open up the chickens).

 Sunrise.

This morning, on the way to open up the chicken coop with Molly.

 A new weaving project on the loom - basket weave utility cloths.

 High winds today - the blowing snow polished the hard snow so shiny.

 Molly never tires of this game - down a snowbank today.

 More digging for Molly this morning - digging for her ball that she pushed in the snow.

The chickens all survived the -40ºC temperatures here while we were away.

 

 Big helper clearing snow.

 Lots of blowing snow for the last day of 10 hours of driving - we had a great holiday and now I am glad to be home.

Sunday - Animal crossing over the highway in the Rockies.
