Casey, I know you have less snow than normal,
but is it also warmer than normal? We are running
about 10 degrees warmer than average. Quite a
change from November and last year! lol

here is an angel I made 18 ~20 years ago. This
year it was on top o the tree. the wreath and
roses used to match the fabric! lol and has
little sparkles on it. I guess when I get it
out next year, I need to give her a new one!
don't look, but she has bloomers on! bloomers with
fabric roses! lol

No Kat, we're getting really cold temps, about 8 or 10 degrees celsius colder than normal! But you're right, less snow than normal although we're having a blizzard with 30 to 45 centimetres expected over the next 2 days, that's a lot.

Okapi at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. I spent the night there a couple years ago in a program called "Roar & Snore"

Jodi, that fella is so funny-looking! He's actually cute!
Cross between a zebra, and a sloped body and tail of a giraffe!

Close neighbors! Coming into port along side us!

Jasdip. the Okapi is the only living relative of the Giraffe. It is an incredibly beautiful animal when you see it in person. I snapped several pictures of it including this closeup of its stripped hindquarters.
