Oh my gosh ladies, what sweet bird pictures. Jeanne that looks like it came straight out of 'Christmas Ideals' (do they make that magazine anymore? rememeber with the beautiful glossy perfect pictures) Love your log birdhouse. Great shot. Looks so cold and crisp. Sandy how cute. It's been forever (well more than 20 years anyway, lol) since I saw a bird with snow on it's beak like that. Used to love all the little ones that would come around looking for food after a snowstorm. Looks like a little female cardinal Enjoyed the snow pics. Donna

Yeah it was pretty chilly last night! I woke up to a good layer of frost on my car and on the lawn. I heard it was going to be in the high 20s last night so I covered up my transplanted seedlings. I took it off about an hour ago because it's supposed to get really warm today (high 60s, maybe 70). I already fried some of my seedlings from not taking that tarp off one day. Linda

Last night snuck up on me, to put it mildly. I had the four strings of Christmas tree lights strung out for the last 2 months, but were not lit up last night, - the forecasters early on lulled me into a belief it would be a warmish night,..no low temps for sure. Then as I got drowsy and prepared to turn off the TV at 11 PM, here comes the Fox 4 guy with a serious look on his face. " Things changing, now looks like 37 - 39 in Englewood. That woke me up, threw on a jacket and shot out to turn on the lights and then haul in the 4 potted babies. Still a bit edgy after nodding off, I instinctively popped awake at 05:25 AM, turned on the inside lights so I could see the outside thermometer, and saw a solid 39 degrees !f that would have hung around for 2 + hours, would have messed up 4 of my young mango trees and killed the 2 potted bananas for sure. Whew,..just another 3 + weeks,..c'mon Feb 20th,...know I'm not nearly as bad as most of youse guys,..but still more than ready to chill out and stop worrying about the overnight lows. lol Now can enjoy the two NFL games today in peace !!

I love it when it looks frosty outside! Then the wind starts to blow and it all falls off! LOL Wonderful pictures Ron!
