Happy (frozen) New Year
Welcome to a new year! May 2019 be a wonderful year for you, and I hope everyone stayed nice and warm while celebrating last night.

It was certainly a bitter one last night, as some cities in Canada had their fireworks several hours early, so people could go home, out of the cold. At the time of this writing, we are at -26C, with a windchill of -37C.

Critter of the Day: Big Jim Surprise
Happy New Year!

Jim was hiding behind the base of the bird feeder, watching the birds eating the deer feed on the ground. Every now and then, he would make a leap for a bird.
A very clumsy leap, what with the base of the feeder in his way and all…

Edit: I had to go back and fix this post. When I first wrote it, I thought I was looking at Bob, because of the white under his chin. Bob, however, has more white, plus a bit of a white splash on his nose, too. A few months ago, I would never have had this problem, as they were so different in size!
