the greenhouse effect

 

The yuccas shiver in the snow while the greenhouse plants bask in the warmth.

snowbound

 

St. Francis has no seed for the birds -- like me, he's snowbound.  Today's bright blue skies belied the huge drifts of snow left by the blizzard.

Pity the poor blue jay perched in the tree in the back yard.  Cold enough to knock the feathers off!

winter

 

The calendar page turned to "almost spring" but the weather says "winter."  With my travel troubles I didn't have time or inclination for more than a "drive by" shooting at the Country Club.  (Travel hint:  It might not be a good idea to pack the computer power cord in the luggage just because it's heavy.  When the luggage goes AWOL, so does the cord!)

brr!

 

Nothing exciting about tonight's post.  With snow flurries and 20 degrees outside, I took this image of the neighborhood from the garage with my phone and hurried back to the couch and my glass of wine.
