Today at Iten's Acres: Arctic Day January 6, 2014

A cold and beautiful and entertaining day at the Acres. I took my walk early before the Arctic weather got here, the "To Build a Fire" cold. Lovely time of day. The birds are here by the hundreds. I guess the cold didn't get them. Homesteader is busy entertaining us all. She sits in the green chair or "hides" behind it until there are thirty or more birds on the ground feeding and then her catness gets the best of her and she charges the window. She's excited, the birds fly--momentarily--and I get to laugh at her persistence and joy and, alas, disappointment. Back behind the chair she goes. Good exercise I suppose.
Bonnie and Gus were out frolicking early this morning as I traversed the front of the property. They love snow! Gus has since disappeared; inside I hope since he's not as fur endowed as Bonnie. She, meanwhile, has been around and about all morning. Walking around the pond and bog. Sitting taking everything in. Moving in and out of the trees. Quite content in her winter wonderland.
The only problem I have is that my car is frozen shut. Don't know how that will work out. I guess the school can send out a limo to pick me up once we have school again. It's only a tad over fifty miles. I guess I could get up early and run a double marathon. Or maybe someone has a tandem bike with snow tires? I'll worry about that when the time comes. Stay warm out their folks!
