We have a new little Icelandic horse in the family...

 

Photos by VT*Grand's Mama

He was wearing blankets and a neck gaiter because
he arrived from Florida on our windy -22ºF night
and his natural coat hadn't grown out yet. 
By next year he'll be the warmest of the bunch!

This image shows Comet 67P/C-G compared to the city of Los Angeles, California. What an incredible comparison.

❄️ It's Snowflake Bentley's birthday! ☃️

 

Fun Votives

When hand-dipping candles, you sometimes have to snip off

the "drip" of wax from the very bottom of the candle. 

I finally found a fun use for the snips!

 

Good-night!

Puffball!

Great meme about the Chinese spy balloon. 
Currently over NC where there is now a Ground Stop
on flights out of Wilmington, Charleston and Myrtle Beach. 
Apparently the military is planning to nab it.

SUNDAY/MONDAY?

My sincerest apologies for completely missing that I needed to add more posts!  DUH!  I have a whole bunch of new photos to offer too!  Can you tell my Sunday was a bit catawumpus?  It relates to a meeting I have on Monday morning in which it looked like I might end up being both Convenor and Presenter, as others in the group had crises looming.  But, thankfully, that's been sorted. I will be Presenting and another will Convene.
