This female Downy Woodpacker seems to be taking to heart the Whistlepig's proclamation of six more weeks of Winter.

WOLF MOON

























Tonight's is an awesome moon! The Native Americans call(ed) the January full moon the Wolf Moon. There is a different name for the moon each month.

I was in town and from that angle the Wolf Moon seemed huge (like a Harvest Moon), rising up half way across Mount Mansfield. I hurried to call home so Hubby could grab the camera, and found I'd left my cell phone home! Oh fie! So I buzzed over to a nearby supermarket to use the pay phone, but needed change. Got change and the phone malfunctioned! Finally got to call home from the Service Desk. Hubby zipped out (in a windchill of about -15!) to get some photos. By then I figured the moon would be up too high, but the timing was perfect since moonrise from home (closer to the mountain) takes place about 15 minutes after the moonrise as seen from town! =Whew!=

Shepherd and Sheep update...LOL!


































Now it looks like the Shepherd is sneaking up on the sheep with an eye to grabbing it! LOL!
Hubby may need to make a crook for the Shepherd. We hope we aren't freaking out the
neighbours with our Calvin(&Hobbes)istic snow sculpture! ;-D

It's SATURDAY!


























So here is Emma-cat this week. We wondered if she was posing as a camel to tell us it's high time we put away the Nativity! Ha!
