Finally the low clouds have cleared leaving the skies blue during the day. The temperatures have dropped, as they do when it clears in January. A small price to pay for the kind of winter sunshine that warms body and soul.
Willow and I were up early without a plan nor agenda. We set off south. Everything we saw was both magnificent and plain as day, but in the middle of the night.
It was good to see the stars after a long absence. The Milky Way is still mostly down. I squinted to see it and aimed the camera at where it should be come February. No luck. This isn’t the year it decided to come up a month early. Still it was worth a look.
Willow found a log and dug for a few mice scared shitless from the snuffing above.
The stars look different every time I see them.
Very fine morning. We will be hitting the fart sack early tonight.

Our weather just can’t get it right this year… we’ve had endless frost and ice every night so far but it still insists on raining every daytime! The roads are lethal!

Rain and freeze can be downright treacherous. It doesn’t happen that often here. When it does kids skate on the roads. It is awesome to see but travel comes to a standstill, unless you have skates of course. 🙂 Take care.

We only normally get one day like that per year but this year it’s been all month. I’m sick of it now!
