Weather watch: Getting boring I know but my thought processor is frozen.

Yesterday afternoon the weather man pulled the wind chill warning off his site, it promptly blew like the blazes and the chills were constant in the minus 40 to 44 range, funny bloke that weather man.

One of our gifts [from Ian] included these three wooden carvings of caribou. Ross Flowers in Hopedale is the artist. The larger deer is about 5” long and 3” high at the shoulder. The antlers are cut from real antler, really nice work indeed.
They will be a nice addition to our small but growing collection of carvings.




A friend down in Vermont sent this picture of an Idaho rattler, jumping jehosaphat is about all I can say about that. Except to add it was 9 feet 1 inch long and weighed in at 97 pounds.

The carvings are beautiful. I remember seeing a herd of them when I was in Nain, but they weren't for sale. Is someone selling them now?

Hi Sarah,
A guy in Hopedale is making them, Ross Flowers.

I will make some enquiries about the caribou and get back.
