Holy Moley....... From forties whole last week to 13F with a wind chill this morning of a negative 2 degrees.
Cover those strawberries immediately. 2025 is going out cold. And 2026 is brewing up the same way.
Sooooooooooooooo, Stay tuned for further updates. Because a strawberry, although can withstand frost. Is always most fresh, juicy, and succulent, when under a summer sun..... Not to be confused with a Son of a bitch.....
Those are the ones that give you road rage. And you whip the finger at. Normally dopey looking. With tree hugger bumper stickers. But a stick up their ass. Walk around like their nose is always looking for the sun. Bump into lots of stuff. Clumsy assholes. Probably have a mother who dresses them and think they're precious. Their mothers are blind and deaf. Not ranting. Trying to keep my jaw from freezing up. Later......
These gregarious animals are often seen in groups, and several families may live together in a large community. Squirrel-sized meerkats are mongooses famed for their upright posture. They often stand on their rear legs and gaze alertly over the southern African plains where they live. Mothers can even nurse their young while standing.
Meerkats (also called suricates) work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet. Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
Meerkat groups utilize several different burrows and move from one to another. Each burrow is an extensive tunnel-and-room system that remains cool even under the broiling African sun. Females give birth to two to four young each year in one of the group's burrows. Fathers and siblings help to raise meerkat young, teaching them to play and forage and alerting them to the ever present danger from above. Young meerkats are so fearful of predatory birds that even airplanes will send them diving for cover.

Got up this morning. And those girls were standing erect like rockets at that Elon Musk launch site. All gassed up and ready for lift off.......
And then I looked at the temperature, I did...... And it was 1' F. With a wind chill of -17 below... With a high of maybe +5 F forecasted for remainder of day........
Well............... Scratch laying outside in a bikini soaking in some sun rays today.....
And winter doesn't officially start for another 9 days.....
So....... Remember what I always say....... Yup...... Keep things simple.........
Think I'll crawl back in bed and get some shared Sandra heat... And maybe some of her massaging fingers to get a little blood circulation......
Can never have enough blood circulation fiddley dee !!!!!
We're working around these burrowing owls at a restoration site. They're living in a large PVC pipe.
One from yesterday's trip into the hills. The snow was melting and there were only patches left, so I had to be creative with the composition.
Taken at 560 mm and cropped.
Wild dog listening to bells from a herd of goats coming down. All 13 got up and walked across away from them.
