The view from my front door on the last day of 2025 - beautiful and sunny, but very cold (the sun dogs are a good indicator). All the best for 2026!

 Someone was very upset that she didn't get to go - lots of howling and crying while they were gone (I don't really know if it was for her beloved, or the truck), but she did get a ride in the truck when they came home.

On my way to open up the chicken coop this morning.

 Molly playing her favourite winter game of pushing her ball in the snow, and then digging for it.

 Big snowflakes early this morning.

 I was able to get the chickens outside for an afternoon snack of sprouted lentils.

 Merry Christmas!

 Ready for company.

 One of Molly's favourite winter activities is shovelling snow.

 December home photo - last one of the year. This year there were four photos with snow, and six photos with green grass and leaves on the trees (click here to see the year of monthly home photos).

The ice on the pond is thick (headlamp lighting up the cracks and bubbles this evening in the dark).

 Day three of blowing snow, hopefully it's finished now.

 The morning after the blizzard.

 Blizzard day, and everyone stayed home.

I am sure the chickens were glad the temperature warmed up a bit (blizzard in the forecast).

 

Day 46 of 100 days of painting and drawing

 

 Molly is always super excited when it is time to shovel.

 A beautiful sunrise this morning.

 Very cold today.

 Molly waiting for her most beloved to come home from work.

 Some of the hens ventured out in the snow today (-16ºC this morning).

 Fluffy snow (I am glad to be inside).

 A frosty start to a snowy day.

 Sprouted lentils treat for the hens.

 First week of an advent stitch along - super enjoyable and easy to keep up with (so far!).

 First skate of the season.

 Miss Maggie watching the Christmas lights outside (I realized I hadn't taken a photo today!).

 Molly likes to "police" the cats when she thinks they are doing something they shouldn't (mainly GingerSnap!).

 Back to cold weather and the sun dogs are out.

 Molly listening to the cars driving by to hear if one of her favourite humans is almost home.

 Once again the only photo of the day - I disturbed a sleeping cat.
