It is cold out there. It is so cold that your jeans feel like they are freezing to your legs when walk out to get the mail.
The view out my one winter shows the bird feeders and the snow. The tarp that is suppose to be on the grill is out there moving around with our strong winds. Eventually the tarp you see in the view ended up at the bottom of the stairs. With the ice covered stairs that tarp can just stay out there. The birds were not eating for awhile but this afternoon did come to eat. I walked out on the icey deck and filled up the self feeders.
This view shows we really didn't get that much snow but it is still a covered with the frozen tundra. It was nice to see the sun and the strong 50 mph of the past 24 hours has finally stopped.
While at the front door, I turned to see this view of my wife's stuffed animal tree. It was good lighting so I had to take a shot.The wind flattened one of my snow sleds onto the ground taking with it my small Christmas tree. I retrieved all and moved the sled into a better location in case it starts blowing again. The front stoop sort of out of the wind but the wind was coming from a north west direction which meant it was directly into the stoop area.
Downstairs the begonia is leaning out to the light. It keeps it alive even though it grows one sided all winter inside the house.
Just like some people keep knitting or crocheting while watching tv, I keep making a few cranes each day. I make 5 to 7 of them each day. I am heading for 1,000 cranes and I am not far from that total.
I have four different kinds of papers with their themed patterns. I keep moving one to another each night. I tried to teach my grand kids and son and his wife how to make these. My grand daughter was so cute as we made it two or three steps in and she declared we needed to start over. She is six so it was to be expected. I worked with her and we did each step and everyone did complete one, but they said they would not try to do that again.
Thanks for stopping by today.
