9 Degrees F.

 We had a good length of time with it snowing. I don't know the exact depth but I blew about five inches or more of snow off my driveway this afternoon. I returned later to get the mail and it is now 9 degrees F. I don't usually used the word wicked but that was wicked cold. In this photo in the afternoon you can see the sun shining on the tips of the neighbor's trees but that is not making it feel warmer.

 This morning a mourning dove was out there on the railing. It had a bit of seed but it just sat and looked around for a long time. When I finally took its picture I couldn't get its head in the right position and it then just left after I took the one shot. 

While I was downstairs feeding the birds inside, I saw outside birds looking for stray seeds. I opened the door and threw out some waste seed from the bird cages. They came back immediately. The shot is through the window but I like what phone camera recorded. 

 

 This is the sun room tree.  I did finish putting up the last tree in the spare room this morning. I had assembled it yesterday and this morning the work of putting on the lights took place. My wife hung around after the lights were on and she helped put on the ornaments. That tree is squeezed in between the wall with window and a bed so it is more of a challenge. Tonight the public will see it lighted. 

 

We went to the church last night to see a Christmas program. We went to that particular one as the next two scheduled days for the program looked too cold or too windy. We were right. It wasn't pleasant to be out last evening but now the temps have dropped severely.  I doubt we will go to church tomorrow morning but we can watch both services on TV streaming.  That will be warmer for sure.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.
