The pups look cozy for sure. I sometimes still marvel at the differences from around the world, as you have a nice fire going, we are seeking the AC as the temps are in the 90's for the past week.

Pygmy Possum.....it wants to kill you, it just can't.

We are on the South Coast of New South Wales, West of us (as the crow flies) is the Kosciuszko National Park (Australia's highest 'mountain' Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest peak, rising to an elevation of 7,310 feet (2,228 metres, a mere bump on the earth for a lot of countries) and Australia's snow fields (we only have a very very small area in Oz that gets enough snow for skiiing, though some years they have to make it at night with massive snow makers) anyway's....this time of the year we get fierce Westerly winds and they are coming straight off the snow peaks in the Kosciuszko National Park hence these cold days.......9-10 months of the year its warm to very hot.
We have already burnt through a fair few tonnes of hardwood already this Winter.
