The cloud deck is low.  Temperature is a constant 27F day and night.  The humidity from the low cloud deck makes it feel colder than 27F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BUT!  Emmett and I have returned to walking on the State Land behind my property.  Hunting season is over.  The bears are hopefully denned up but at any rate, the vegetation has died and I can see over the terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is wonderful to add more variety to our outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light8111.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light8111.jpg 725w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light8111-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light8111-134x150.jpg 134w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light8111-36x40.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We get longer walks and more stuff to sniff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light0953.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light0953.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light0953-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light0953-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light0953-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light0953-294x196.jpg 294w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Light0953-60x40.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***EDIT Especially for Margaret &#8230; so sorry &#8230; I returned the drone.
