Lame duck in Alpine

As if the below zero chill factor isn't enough, I have a lame Mexican Duck on the ponds here in Alpine. Actually, it's been here a couple of months, but the snow and cold make it look more pitiful. Hugh feeds them and they don't flush quite as readily as they used to.

Back at the oasis, the electric company is finally finished with the new line across my property. I have cutoff poles all over the place that I'm so anxious to erect, but it's just too cold right now. It'll have to wait until next week.
