Me and the doggies

So it had been awhile since me nose got repaired and the doggies have
settled down and are very used to Gus now. Anne has more time for all
of us now. What a nice place to be on a cold winter day!

Lake Calhoun

Hi everyone! No, this isn't Lake Perris, but it kinda looks like
it...I am here with Gus and Anne to try a new place to run just
southwest of the city at Lake Calhoun. It is nice place to observe
from, but only around 3 miles around, so we don't stay as long as we
would as Lake Perris. It still is a lot of fun!

The Depot

After a lot of hard work, here we are on Sunday morning...we are
having breakfast at the Depot in Merrillan with the family before
heading back to Minneapolis. A nice shot of me and Gus.

Lots of heat on a winter day!

After we got Gus squared away, Joe jumped right in and started helping
get the piles going with Anne's Dad. There was snow on the ground and
it was around 40 degrees, but near the fire it was toasty warm! If you
look closely, the can see Anne's Dad to might right and Joe is off to
my left in the pit, getting the branches in the mix. What a perfect
day for burning! Very light wind blowing away from us, not too cold,
no rain, and just enough snow on the ground to be able to do it! I
like fire pits!

Mobile Diaper Change

We made it to the property where Anne's Dad was already busy at work
burning the piles of brush we had generated over the last year. We
drove straight to the property, so we did a mobile diaper change in
the Jeep. I like helping to take care of Gus!

Freezing Fog - neat tree close up

So here I am again with the neat tree, only a close up view. If you
zoom in, you can really see how each little ice shard is growing! How
interesting that conditions could be just right for moisture in the
air to freeze like that. Very awesome!

Freezing Fog - neat tree

I usually don't post on the same subject more than once, but this is
really cool! We made it to Hudson, WI, and stopped at the Starbucks
there. On the way, we saw very neat trees in a hotel parking lot. It
is like an ice sculpture! Beautiful!

Freezing Fog - again!

He we are taking a trip to Wisconsin and there is freezing fog out
again! I believe this is looking out over the Mississippi River from
I-94 eastbound. How beautiful it is!

On another note, as you can see, I've got my nose back! Life is good!
