Vancouver got its first full day of sun in 72 days. Last full sunny day was Hallowe'en. I don't think we went quite that long here on the Island, but possibly we set a record too. Its a bit nippy out tonight, about 24 F and supposed to dip a bit more later on, but the stars are beautiful.

Sure glad the power's on for a change and the only pain in the ass for the next few days will be lugging water for the pony, because his water line is frozen. I'm taking a break from hauling wood for the woodstove, putting my feet up tonight and being thankful for small pleasures, like electric heat and functional toilets.
