Hopefully no injuries with the chain saw… or the log splitter… or with the fixed up hernia… or…
UPDATE: Some results (with no injury):

It’s supposed to snow later on today, but, so far, this is all that is evident on the Southernmost side of Holy Souls Mountain:

The ice is everywhere there is an outcrop of rock, or a cliff…

Further up, on the Parkway (now closed for the Winter), such ice can get many feet thick, and cover expanses of hundreds of feet. When it breaks off and falls, it can be rather dangerous.
More peacefully, the donkey of Holy Souls Mountain, also on the Southernmost side, a bit further East, is munching away while he can:

While some people in past ages came up with a spoof Feast of the Donkey, I don’t think it should be a spoof at all. But, more on that later.


Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 






Wishing you all the best Father.
Here in Uganda, we may not need firewood for warming the houses/ dwelling rooms, but most Ugandans will need firewood for cooking
Cooking some freshly laid freerange chicken eggs yet? Are you able to start wrapping your mind around putting at least a few spring chickens into your already established henhouse, or is it too early yet? I’m quite happy with how my chickens are doing, though one has been sneezing just a bit these past few cold days…
I pray the sneezing chicken doesn’t have any contagious flu.
Yes, still too early for me to bring in new birds. I miss the egg
I have so far made 14 sales, worth $74. Royalties for January sales will be paid to me towards the end of February. I hope by then I will have accumulated at least $200.
