We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
William Ralph Inge (1860-1954)

Now We're Really Hiding From the Winter Wind!!




Yesterday, standing at the window and looking out at blue skies and pretty snowy fields, Don and I were chuckling at the pictures of Vancouver's snowy/rainy weather, with city workers trying to clear street drains. Remembering the folks that had exclaimed over the "Nova Scotia" weather, oh my what you are getting yourselves into!!! Well, today we are truly getting a taste of it. The wind is howling outside, seeking places to poke it's hard, icy fingers into the warmth of the cocoon with which we've surrounded ourselves. The woodstove struggles to keep up, barely. And Ambra and Sierra are still in their stalls where in all likelihood, they will stay for the day.

But I went grocery shopping yesterday, there is firewood in the basement and hay in the barn. What more could we ask for?
