1/02/08: 3:00 PM. No wind, blue skies, temp. about 10 degrees. At 8:00 AM it was 3 degrees. Ice is forming on the channel. Got about 3” of fluffy snow last night. Need to get suet cakes for the birds in Washburn at Northern Migrations next trip; all out, so no woodpeckers. Friends Andy and Judy Larsen are arriving shortly for a few days stay and to check on their property on Old Hwy. K. It will be good to have company after a very quiet Holidays. We are celebrating a new granddaughter born to son Dutch and daughter-in-law Leslie in Texas, it will be a warm place to visit sometime this winter.
