Even a polar bear needs a den.

When you need to bury yourself along with your bone. Even a polar bear needs a den.

We got about 6" of snow overnight (and a visit from 6 elk in the very middle of the storm), with a few more flurries yet this morning. Now, it's all ground blizzard, with a bitterly cold wind keeping wind chills in single digits even now. Tonight will be dangerously cold.

Wings got his prolozone therapy injections yesterday, and his knees felt much better immediately. He's having some pain again today, but that's mostly the wind and the freezing temperatures; not much to do about that, as I know all too well. He's been busy sweeping snow most of the day already, while I'm trying to get caught up on stuff in here. Which reminds me, for my Patreon patrons: March and April are tax months here, and also medical appointment months, and I am going to be snowed under. I will not be doing daily postings for that period. I'll try to post as often as I can, but I can't in good conscience commit to every day (or every night, as the case may be) when I have all of this stuff hanging over my head. Things will lighten up in May, presumably.

And on top of all of that, I'm still trying desperately to get caught up on a bunch of the things I haven't been able to do these last two weeks, 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. Next 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. And there's always the need to keep the land alive, and its indigenous spirits, fragile and less so.

Among that list of things I need to do is still the need to make sales, and that new heart bracelet went up last week, 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.
