Good will always prevail over evil. I see that in me versus Klitschko.

I wake up to more snow, a small amount. I can see blue sky through the intermittent flakes falling from the sky. It is time to do what needs doing like every morning.

I gather food bowls, fill them give them to the cats. Winter is here, I now have additional chores. I need to walk out check the bird food, I also have 5 extremely feral kittens to take food to. They are too wild to bring in and may have disease, so I don’t dare bring them in. When the cold arrives they will most likely die, there isn’t much I can do about that. It would be a gentle kindness if the coyotes kill them. I will supply food and even try to build them a warm box to sleep in. I am too selfish to kill them. I don’t want that scar on my soul I have too many already.

The dogs I have had to shoot in the past, the kitten that battled a weasel and won but was left with a broken neck, I had to finish with a sledgehammer. The list goes on I don’t enjoy the killing, but like the suffering even less.

They deserved to live more than many humans I know. I don’t execute them either.

From that bit of morbidity onto the tasks of the day. Cats are all watered and fed. I forgot the broom to clean the solar panels, I decided while I was out there to let the sun do that.

I will have to cut some firewood and split it. I don’t have much, so I will ration it best I can. The forecast is for minus temperatures for the next week, maybe more. Winter has arrived. Maybe for today, I will cut up some reclaimed 2×6 that I have hoarded for years.

Do I feel well enough to chainsaw and chop? In no way, is there anyone else to do it? No


4:30 PM sun is going down a lot sooner, soon the 6 hour days come.
