Mild for December

We are enjoying a very mild December with only a little snow early on and now a warm and settled stretch. The wood pile is not going down at it’s normal rate and I am sure that we are not using much if any oil. I noticed today that not only is there not much ice on the local ponds but the loons are still swimming around in them. I watched a large flock of geese pass over the house this morning and then all barrel roll into the field below. I had forgotten what acrobatic flyers gees can be when they want to be.

A change in the seasons

I put the Lund away for the winter this week. It is always kind of sad to take out all of the safety equipment and the little things that I have on board to make my job easier like the long hook for grabbing decoy lines. It has been an amazing year filled with many great memories of trips with folks that I look forward to seeing again next year. I had already put the strip built canoe in the rafters of the garage and all of the canoes are on the rack behind the house so I am ready for the indoor phase of my year to get started.

More Snow!

A light wet snow is falling this morning. I think that it must be in advance of a front because it is so warm. I’m sure that we won’t have much accumulation and we lost quite a bit of what we had over the weekend. Yesterday was a perfect early winter day, light wind, sunshine and pretty warm. We took advantage and brought in our Christmas tree. Argy took a few pictures with a beautiful winter sunset in the background. It is really starting to look a lot like Christmas here.
