Warmer weather today. In the 20s, and the wind almost entirely stopped. Carolina Blue skies too – really just a lovely day. Three coyotes swung by last night, one crossing right in front of the house. The deer have fallen into a pattern the past few days, taking a trail that crosses by the stream.
I did a few practical things, cleaning all my pots, then scrubbing the stovetop and the kitchen counter. It was a nice day to be working with water warmed by the wood stove. Outside I was able to de-ice the waste line from my toilet, running warm water through the line, then detaching the pipe and knocking the ice off. Not terrible work – in weather below freezing there is no smell. And quite timely – going into January with no ice built up at all is quite good.
