It’s funny at this time of year, as I sit outside every single day and people drive by and wonder what the heck I am doing, unless they know me. Yesterday and today I lasted about 4 hours, not bad for how cold most think it was. I just came in, as I couldn’t take it anymore. I have many layers, but sometimes they are just not enough. The sun was out earlier, and I actually felt the warmth for about an hour, blissful to say the least. The birds don’t seem to be cold, so go out and see them.

Nice Stickman you are braver than me today… Hey DFO, are the lakes really iced up enough to fish yet? Or maybe I should ask Taryn… Anyone?
DFO on December 07 at 11:18 p.m.
Bent; that photo was taken by Jesse Tinsley on Fernan Lake last February.

Good to know, DFO. Thanks…

Bent: Fernan is definitely ready to walk on, though I wouldn’t even consider it. I always feel for the fish, not the fisherman.
