  Living the Frugal Life — Authority: 118

  colour it green diary — Authority: 123
  The last couple of days’ sunshine has made everything much more bearable,  and it feels seasonal out there- as although sunny, cold too.  That winter sun makes it hard to see though – so low in the sky. We have barrowed more logs, cut some smaller trees out of the hedge, including a broken branch of holly that ...

  After what seems to have been a whole month of non stop rain, a dry day.  It will take more than that to dry things out – the dustbath in the hen run is currently a pond!

  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 121
  Ok, it can warm up a little.  Most of the time the arctic air makes its presence known on the other side of the mountain range, keeping central and eastern Oregon cold.  And we enjoy a relatively mild cold.  But, once in a while it slips over the mountains and it gets cold on the west side too.  This one is a ...
