Another barn for the ‘red barn’ week and it appears there are couple of rocks in the field that haven’t been picked yet but they are a little small so easy to be overlooked!

There might be some people with red, blood shot eyes this morning if they were ringing in the new year last night so I thought today’s picture should be a red one but since it is the new year, that it also had to be ‘new’ and ‘red’ so this new red barn can start off the red barn week.
Happy New Year Everyone!

The remaining standing part of this old corral might not be able to withstand another heavy snowfall.

This truck doesn’t look like it can outrun the next snow and fits very well into this ‘old’ week since due to the lack of vent windows, this old Chevy truck was built between 1947 to 1950. (Since I didn’t go trespassing to see were the gas tank or shifter was mounted, I couldn’t narrow down the age more precisely but I’m sure others would know just by looking at it. But since the gas cap appears to be by the passenger door and that the side hood emblem appeared to have been a longer one stating Loadmaster or Thriftmaster, then that would narrow it to early 1949.)

There is a cowboy singing group from Montana called the Ringling 5 (even though more than 5 singing), who sing a song called “If Jesus was a Norwegian” and one of the lines is that there would be no December birthday as he would have been frozen where he lay. And that would have been was very true this morning since it was -5 out on this Christmas morning.
Wishing everyone a very Blessed Christmas even if it is a rather chilly one here!
Merry Christmas!
If you want to hear the song, even if they don’t show the cowboys singing it, you can hear it on YouTube at the link below.

Nature has decorated the trees outside, just in time for Christmas and a little extra decoration was added this morning, but all the decorations seem to be one color – white!

While not as colorful as yesterday’s hand blown glass ornament, the landscape outside can provide some color besides the white snow with green from the pines and the brown tree limbs, but the sky can provide colors from white, blue, orange and sometimes even pink.

With the official calendar start of winter, it did look like winter but at least the sun was shining. But a shining sun in winter time normally means crisp, cold air and it was rather nippy out today.

Now this frosty tree appears to be a nice place for a squirrel to live and there is one squirrel that might get relocated there. This morning a squirrel just found the bird feeder on the porch and when my cat went out to watch the thief steal seeds, the squirrel got mad and it peed on my cat, the screen and floor. So I ended up washing the screen and rinsing the porch floor. Trying to wash the cat was not so easy and only got a towel bath so far and I don’t really want to do a sniff test to see if a full bath is required. That squirrel might get dunked in the water trough the next time I see that rodent!

It appears this old tractor is heading off into the sunset or maybe it just wants to be in the warmer southwest states but it doesn’t look like it is getting there very fast.
