- Monday, 12/22: Deer Blind, Christmas Goodies, & Swans
- I walked down to the Wood Duck Deer Blind and removed the lauan top off the blind. The lauan board is an 1/8-inch thick. It's strong. The last time I looked at the blind, several inches of snow bowed that board down in the middle. Today, it was level, again. While I was there, I walked around viewing things. The pond is frozen at the south end. There aren't many deer tracks. A large oak tree blew over up the hill from where I once had a deer stand.
- Mary baked a batch of butterscotch chip/oatmeal cookies. She also made some frozen chocolate peanut clusters. Tasty testing was done by all.
- I split the rest of the red oak firewood and stacked the wood in the woodshed.
- At one point while inside the woodshed, I heard trumpeter swan calls and jumped outside to watch six swans flying over our north timber. Mary also heard swans when she got the mail. A couple days ago I noticed one swan that was dusty colored. I read online that a swan with that color is a juvenile.
- We watched two movies, which were Babe (1995) and Patrick Stewart's version of A Christmas Carol (1999).
- I'm noticing online that Fairbanks has experienced several days in December with temperatures below -40°.
