Best laid plans.


The GD plans to leave for home is on hold. The up side is she did not leave for the airport. The down side is GD has not fully inherited the Inuit trait of great patience as yet. One can imagine many angry phone calls, e mails and the like with naughty words interspersed.

On the local scene the harbor has frozen over again, looked almost ready for some skating yesterday, winds overnight may have changed that though. One year people were skating all the way out past northern point, hard on snowmobile parts though.

Lot of snowmobile traffic is going up into the ponds and brooks looking for partridge, wabbits, wooding, not heard if any fish is being caught yet.

After much hinting I got the tree out and put it up yesterday morning.
In the afternoon, Fran with help from daughter and grandson decorated it.

The repositioning of furniture does not seem to have impugned on the comfort zone of Siutik. With the colder nights she has been sleeping inside more often, been behaving very well too, not one tree bulb was missing this morning.
As a matter of fact her overall behavior has changed since we arrived home from our trip.
I put it down to having a house/dog sitter who has 14 dogs of their own, but there is a reluctance in taking credit.
