I don’t have any sweaters I particularly look forward to wearing. LOL They’re nice but it wouldn’t bother me a bit if I never needed to wear them. Just not a cold-weather person.

Yes, the wind was the kicker today. When I opened the back door to step out, it took my breath away when it blasted me. Without the wind, it would have just been brisk outside.

As I said, this week is where we should be with temps and it won’t be uncomfortable .... as long as that wind lays down!

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Did you and Gizmo have a grand time at the lake yesterday? Chilly enough these days to make the lil feller extra-frisky? :-)

Deliveries are slower this year...most of the 3 day delivery packages I’ve sent for the last couple months can take up to 2 weeks. Hopefully your son’s package is going to a bigger city.

Well, then I hope the wind stays down. The cold is enough without the added “wind chill” to send it lower.

It’s 37 here right now. I don’t think I’ll be going out to see how it feels. The kitties are all tucked up into their warm spots...and all is well with the world. :)

this delivery was a nightmare that required a recon mission to a non existent address, and 7 days frustration but I got it done.

damn you covid, damn you joe biden!

Merry Christmas

Yep, wind chill takes all the fun out of being outside during winter. A stiff breeze during summer is a plus though!

We’re down to 28 at the moment. I was sitting here a few minutes ago wondering if the heater wasn’t working because it was getting cool in the room. Nope. The heater’s working just fine. Lorien was curled up on the darn vent in here, blocking the heat. LOL

It is a little bit chilly out there. We also had some people with dogs out there so didn't get to do some things but we did visit the piers and the campground and the pavilion.

It must not have been too chilly if others were out there with their dogs too. Gizmo looked pretty happy with the roaming and rolling he go to do. :-)

Nothing like a kitty to stop up the heating vent. LOL! How funny! It’s 35 here, and I’m glad it’s not 28. It’s nearly the same there as it is in Anchorage! Brrrr!

We’ve run cats off the vents many times. Most have wised up and only lie across one end, not blocking the heat completely, and I let them stay. Lorien had the whole vent covered in here and it made a difference. Not cold but noticeably cooler. Stinker.

We have a couple of degrees on Anchorage but thank goodness we don’t have the snow! It’s pretty to look at on the LH cam but they can keep it up there! LOL
