Summer was brief!

       After the brief summer, fall is in the air. In fact it is snowing and the ground is white. Perhaps that's appropriate, the S.D. family last gathered on Dec. 17, and it was snowing then, too. Today seven have signed up for dinner at Craft, a nice, relatively quiet restaurant in Brookings. Likely my nephew, the tax man, is too busy. I've been asking "did you enjoy the winter?" All replies thus far have been negative. It reminds of life in tropical Thailand where the Thai regularly complain about the heat.  With three more nesting boxes to hang, Kaia and I ventured out into the cold wind. Kaia loved it, me? not so much, but taking a clue from the Norwegians, I dressed for it.

    The Little House is cozy and easy to heat. Remember 2020? Living here all winter worked well and fortunately there wasn't a lot of snow. Living here this winter would have necessitated much shoveling.

Takk for alt,

Al
