Morning at Mary Lake at -31°C
It’s a tad nippy out there this morning – -31°C (-24°F) – but my god it’s beautiful. This was our view of Golden Horn at 10:16, 7 minutes after sunrise.
Today was a “special treat” morning for breakfast (these special treats get more and more common 🙂 ) – Eggs Benedict. Cathy has been researching for some time trying to find a restaurant in Tuscany that offers great food and a great view for my 60th birthday celebration next year, and so far hasn’t found a suitable one. Perhaps we’re just spoiled. This picture isn’t very good, but you get the idea – I was too anxious to dig in to the bennies to set up a good photo!
It’s cold enough that the wood furnace needed a bit of help from the oil furnace to get the house up to a comfortable temperature while the fire was building. The oil hasn’t fired for a couple of hours now, though, and we’ve still only used half a tank of oil in just over 2 years.
This little guy sure could use a little artificial heat this morning. He’s the only creature we’ve seen moving – he was adding material to his nest in the firewood stack.
