Polar bear.

The polar bear is a mighty hunter; watch how he stalks his prey. 

Of course, she was waiting for him right behind me, and they crashed into each other in mid-air, with Cricket older and wiser enough to jump out of the damn way.

These monsters are loving the snow. If the forecast holds, they'll get more of it next week. We can all hope, anyway. We're getting just enough each time, with just enough cold right behind it, to keep it leaching into the ground slowly, and we may even be able to plant this year. I hope so; I've been hoarding all the seeds I've been unable to use for so long.

In the meantime, the pressures continue apace. Next week, Wings begins his first treatment of prolozone therapy injections on his knees. We're hoping this alleviates the need, for now, for invasive surgery in a time when it's not safe (and there aren't enough beds or staff for elective surgeries anyway, but our concern is his health). I'm still trying desperately to get caught up on a bunch of the things I haven't been able to do this last week-plus, having been so sick with this godforsaken lupus flare. It's slowly easing a little each day now (never by enough, but at least there's a measurable difference now), so I'm trying my best to get things done. The following week we have Miika's next vet/farrier visit and then my eye appointment [at long last]. The bad part is that they're back to back. So the next couple of weeks will have me on the run again.

Among that list of things I need to do is still the need to make sales, and that new heart bracelet went up yesterday, here. It's gorgeous, and that stone is jut amazing. There's more in the pipeline, too, and it's incredible stuff. Links are here, and there's a lot of new work up, with more to come:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the other ladder and the Bissell vac);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, so now's always a good time to make a purchase. And there's lots of fabulous new work, so please share all of the links.
