Never got out of the single digits today. The day dawned gray, with about an inch of ice covering the snow from yesterday’s storm. This made it difficult to get around—both on foot and in motorized vehicles. Got to the hill nonetheless, but Jack didn’t want to get out of the truck. Too cold, I guess, and the prospect of treading on all that snow. So I brought him back home and returned without him at midday.
Still cold, still a strong north wind—a regular boreal kind of day.
But when I swung by the harbor, I found quite a few miscellaneous bird species—a few of them even willing to pose for pics.
