I hope they’ll find some grass to line the nest with. Those pine twigs don’t look very comfy.
I don’t mind if it isn’t “live” when I’m after scaps and just watching them interact with each other. The cams that can’t be rolled back are the ones I don’t like. Can’t go back to see if any action was missed.
I noticed it was snowing again at “The Hole”. It was snowing last night too. The sound of it falling right now is soothing. But does it ever look cold!
How are your DIL and the girls feeling about the move at this point? A far cry from what they’re used to. BRRRR!

I think they have mixed feelings. It’s gorgeous, but it is cold and the girls really can’t go outside to play much. Of course, living in an apartment doesn’t give them much of a place to play outside anyway.
Piper probably gets more bored than Callie, since she’s a ‘tween and is probably missing her friends. She has started her school lessons today, though. Since she’s homeschooled and Callie is sort of beginning hers, my DIL tries to keep her on a schedule of sorts so it’s more routine. She’s a very smart young lady, too! Even if I am her Grammie. :)
Guess I’d better go. My eyelids are getting heavy....zzzzzz......-_-

Cold and snowy. We’ve warmed up to double digits.
Good morning, Mooch...cold and miserable doesn’t sound like much fun.
Stay warm and dry!

The wind has bent my flagpole, to 90 degrees, a couple inches above the bracket. I’m thinking I want a replacement pole out of PVC pipe.

Even if they had a place with a big yard, that isn’t exactly “play weather”. Not for long any way. BRRRRR
Missing friends probably doesn’t help. At least there’s schooling to help the time go by. They’ll adjust but it would be easier if it was warm enough to get out to blow off some energy, and kids do have a lot of that! LOL
Good night and sleep well. See ya tomorrow night and looking forward to the quiz.

Being a POW in the United States was a bit different than the other way around.

You all stay safe.

Tuesday Morning Coffee Bump.
No moles or gophers yesterday. He did slip and fall on the grass and hurt himself for a time. I gave him an arthritis pill last night and another this morning. He seemed to walk around OK after that.
