Our Friday the 13th Snow Bear

There was an article in yesterday's paper, front page, about a bear cub wandering around our neighbor and to make sure the bird feeders and animal bowls are still stashed.  The paper said the cub was apparently disturbed out of hibernation from natural or man-made causes and is now finding enough food to stay awake.  We were lucky enough to have him visit us!
GO TO BED LITTLE BEAR!

The self sustaining geo-dome at Cozy Point

Solar collectors heat the water that runs under the ground in the dome where plants (food) can grow year round in the warm soil.  They also have two large fish tanks that funnel the water to feed the plants, returning fresh water to the fish.

Basalt tree lighting


Anyone know how to flip the video?  I tried for an hour and gave up.








The "real" Santa was too busy with the children so Patti had to settle with this replica half buried in snow.

White fluffy stuff

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  We got about 12-14 inches.  I know because I shoveled the deck off the master bedroom due to the weight.  Got my exercise in without having to go the gym in 10 degree weather and didn't even need gloves.
