Sun bathing
It's 5 degrees here at 9AM and yet the sun is giving a good amount of warmth. The sheep are enjoying the bright sunshine after their morning feed. And when the snow is fresh they love to eat it! I am always amazed how warm they are when I put my bare hand under their...
Postscript to the ride

A handful of dust

The cat who came for Christmas
It was just two weeks ago today we lost our beloved Ursus. The following 24 hours were so sad and heart-wrenching. But we think Urs sent a message the morning following his death. I was convinced by some unknown force to find another Chartreux as soon as possible....
