Day's End

Most of the snow has disappeared over the last six days.  The cold has returned and the ground is nice and frozen.  A bit icy - but firm and hard. 

Perfect for schlepping around the woods with Girlfriend.

The new nest boxes we installed last year have held-up well.

At long last we replaced the batteries on the game camera.  This new IR camera is easy on the batteries getting a huge chunk of a year on  only four c-cells. 

We enjoyed a nice sunny day, little wind, oak trees to prune, plenty of mice to dine-upon and some shed antlers to hunt.  The dog came-up empty in that department.

We're batching it for the weekend.  The Frau is off for a curling bonspiel with her girlfriends, so it's just me and Girlfriend hanging-out at The Platz.

Jaeger schnitzel mit spaetzle for dinner tonight.

I got a bad case of tired bones.

A good sort of tired.

The dog is snoring in her crate.
