► Through making spoons for the day. 29ºF/-1ºC @ midnight. Thankfully the north wind seems to be backing off.
► Temperature dropped to 23ºF/-5ºC overnight. Our coldest night thus far this winter. In honor of the occasion, I flaked out early. In bed by 1 AM.
► Day warming quickly. Clear, moderate north wind and 42ºF/5ºC @ 11:00 AM. I'm really glad yesterday's blustery north wind has subsided.
► Hear geese heading south overhead -- waaaaay overhead. (51ºF/10ºC @ 1:45 PM)
► A little while ago, a spike buck streaked across the yard between house and studio. He was moving so fast, I wouldn't have been able to tell he was a spike buck, except Jo saw him up near the house earlier. I don't know why he was running, nor do I know why he was hanging around so close to the house, but I do know his quick trip across the yards upset the dogs mightily. (37ºF/2ºC @ 4:45 PM)
► Temperature already down to freezing. Clear, calm and 32ºF/0ºC @ 7:30 PM
► Chilling down. 27ºF/-2ºC @ midnight.
