3BT – our daily excursion, alchemy, ice
1. The cats glow in the soft sunlight. The melting snow is still too cold for their paws but they sit on the dry fence and watch me split logs. For cats that are scared of everything, they’re strangely fearless when I’m flinging an axe at wood. 2. The (flat)bread is perfect – startling white [...]
