We've been cut off from the rest of the world since Thursday. It's not that there is too much snow – it's too warm and the wet, heavy snow turns into something akin to mud. It's 8 kilometres back and forth to the only store in the area and the chances of getting through in any of the cars we have left are poor (the 4WD was supposed to be fixed last week but wasn't). This is nothing to worry about – we have enough food supplies for at least two weeks, we have power, water, and internet.
Not the best weather for a walk. It's not cold enough, the snow is wet. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia #wetlands
This Acer rubrum disrupts the basic colours of our forest. It's an invasive species here in #Polesia, but we won't cut it down. We're an invasive species here too.
Bruno inspecting the #wetlands. We have thaw and snow is slowly melting but at temperatures around 4°C it will take many days before it disappears. #IdąPsięta #Polesia
When you don't have thick fur you need an ugly coat to keep you warm in freezing temperatures. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon
Pietruszka is checking the site of last night's incident for damage to nature. #IdaPsięta #RuralLife
The way back wasn't so fine. Picture taken in approximately the same place as the one at the beginning of this thread.
Have to slow down a bit – I don't feed our neighbour's dogs only to run them over now. Slowing down is tricky – I might get stuck in the snow.
This is how today started – on me way to another #RuralBroadband installation, still a few hundred metres from home.

Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (#Polesie in Polish) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs (most of them rescue dogs) – #IdąPsięta.

Fuck nazis.
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
