Country Fun #2

Sophie kitteh keeping warm by the fire:

The glass doors on the fireplace installed this year certainly make a huge difference in heat output and reducing our dependency on oil. As you can see, Sophie kitty sure is reaping the benefits! As this year was kind of a trial run with trying to heat primarily with wood [with the glass doors] -we are almost depleted of the 4 cords we started out with. If next year's like this, we'll need 6 cords!

Starting...

 

Currently...

Speaking of the cold, with these near zero temperatures another almost hourly chore appears; making sure that the poor chickens and bunnies water doesn't freeze!

 

Our weekend plans did not include ice fishing after all, but did still include fish... Norman, our 10" Comet Goldfish is quickly out growing his present 55 gallon fish tank

So, we got his new home on Saturday - a 125 gallon tank.

It's a horrible picture, but Sophie make her debut again, checking out the new  tank.
