The View From My Window (2026)

Taken this afternoon. Unusually for this time of the year, we're having cloudy days and some (light) rain.

Or snow woman? Post a photo if you do.

From the front door cam this morning.

The pups have been going in and out of the dog door to chase each other around the back yard and are loving the fresh snow!

I'm going to put on another sweater....

There used to be a deck and some furniture out here…

I like seeing all the little critter tracks in the snow!

We’ve got a good amount of wildlife in the neighbourhood (squirrels, raccoon, skunks, foxes, possums, rabbits, mice, rats, and birds) so after a couple of days there will be tons of tracks in that snow! It’s interesting, they definitely have specific corridors that they travel along.

My corridor, in that situation, would be helter-skelter to the warmest room in the house.

every room in the house looks darker than this - this is the only one without heat shielding. The bedroom even has additional blackout blinds to try to help with the temperature.

Aussie houses have tin roofs.... don't ask and no they are not usually insulated either.

This is me for the next week weeks and has been since the last heatwave at the start of the year.

My backyard is really poorly drained (clay soil), so I tend to get a giant puddle/vernal pool in the back corner during spring melt. Sometimes, we get guests visiting!

One of my cats is absolutely transfixed. The other doesn’t care one bit!
