This power pole is fifty or sixty years old. Made of reinforced concrete, it holds up the wires that bring electric power to our house. If it fails it will be replaced by a plastic pole, and I have no idea how long it would last. Guess we have to go completely off-grid. #Polesia #IdąPsięta

Bruno, guardian of the snow. He'll be very unhappy when it all disappears. Very little snow is left now near our place, but there are still some larger patches at southern edges of meadows, where tree shade protects it a bit from the sun. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

We don't expect any visitors. Our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, are happy.

#IdąPsięta blurred and badly cropped, as usual. #DogsOfMosstodon

#Wetlands are wet, they are happy. Our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, are wet, some are happy, some not. Our bedsheets will suffer from the canine vectored transfer of wetness. We're not happy about that, but generally we're happy. #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia

Something delicious must have died here. Or became delicious some time after it died. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia

A Christmas walk with #IdąPsięta in #Polesia, Poland. In Poland smiling is – officially – regarded as not natural. Now you understand why. #DogsOfMastodon

#IdąPsięta running to inspect our #wetlands. One CFIT incident, but no hull loss. #DogsOfMastodon

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

Winter warfare in #Polesia. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

When you don't have thick fur you need an ugly coat to keep you warm in freezing temperatures. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

We had no idea what made this little dog run into deep snow. #IdąPsięta #Polesia #RuralLife

#IdąPsięta pretending to be asleep. They're just waiting to jump in our bed. #DogsOfMastodon

Our pack of #dogs, #IdąPsięta, on a walk. #DogsOfMastodon

Bruno, the oldest of our #IdąPsięta pack of #dogs, can't decide whether to our house, or to go to our neighbour, where he practically lives now (that old wooden house in the background). #DogsOfMastodon

One of them loves snow. The other hates it. Both are happy there's no way I could drive them to the vet today (this is our only road to the outside world). #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia #EasternPoland

Masza asking us to hurry up and go on that walk before the sun goes down. It took a while to shovel that snow. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

Definitely not driving anywhere today – this is our only road to the outside world. The #dogs, #IdąPsięta, don't seem to care. But they should be careful – the only way to get to the vet if something happened would be to airlift them.
