Happy New Years to all those that follow the Roman calendar. 
Personally I follow the solar calendar so my New Year started on Dec. 21, 2025

It's been a roller coaster week of rain and snow, with temps from freezing to a whole lot colder. This morning at 9:30 am it's a sunny -16.

A frosty morning last week

This (lombardy) poplar was more sparkly than the camera shows

Sun rise a few days ago

The previous owner of this old house, I found his graduation certificate in the attic when I first moved in and added a layer of insulation to the attic. Now it sits on the wall in the cold room where we store food at 10c or so during the winter.

I have no room for these poor Mexican hat plants in the main house so they sit in a window of the cold room.  Hopefully they manage to survive.

The first day of 2026

Some of the house plants enjoying sunshine this morning. Later in the year the sun will be to high in the sky to come in these windows.

A 12 now 17 year old whisky, and a pricy bottle of olive oil, at the table to close out the year.

Supper to end the year, and we had garden salsa (from my garden) later for snacking.

Jack Frost has painted the windows for us with a sparkling design.

Driving to town after it rained glazing the farmers field.

Enjoy the Year
Cheers
