Yup, that's about what we had here. Just remember - the solstice isn't far away...

I can understand why the ancients would celebrate the solstice. I can hardly wait for the sun to come back again. I would be a very happy snow bird. I want to travel between here and Santiago Chile. That way I could simply do Spring and Summer over and over again.

I don't think that it's so much about the temperature, as it has been about the cold and humidity. It is so damp and cold, and the cold damp is what is the worst.

Oh, no, last year was much colder; I spent the second week of November trying to thaw the watering trough supply lines. Today I did, however, have to thaw all the founts, a much easier job.

Today was absolutely gorgeous here, and I got a little work done on the Hamburg extension; would have been more, except for the fact that I'm working on attaching the bottom of the cage wire to the foundation beam, and had to be careful about how much time I spent upside-down. The Hamburg ladies spent a lot of the day sunbathing in the south end of their run: the sand there is finally drying out sufficiently to dust-bathe again! I had a visit from the male Cooper's Hawk; he was hunting starlings at the feeder and ignored my cousin's free-ranging flock and all of my penned chooks.

So, this is how I know that this is as good as the weather gets here in December:

I love that mountain. Thank you for the picture.

Now I feel guilty about never complaining about chopper training flights coming over me too low. The two that crashed were maybe five minutes south of me, and would have over-flown my house to get there.

It was so very pink tonight, like strawberry ice cream!

I just heard the news. It is so sad, Copter crashes are never good.

Thanks. He is really pretty, the pics don't show it all...

My father always wanted to fly a red hot air balloon to the top of the mountain. So that way there would be a cherry on top of the ice cream.

The solstice is also my son's birthday.

So in some cultures he would be revered. lol I don't care what happens, as long as I get more sunshine. The summer solstice makes me much more cranky. It always comes to soon.
