Frosty Morning

We are having above freezing days but nights just below freezing.

January 1

January first came with a cough just as the last seven morning have. I sure am getting tired of the cold virus that has me by the throat.

Meanwhile, the temperatures are anything but January like this morning. It was 8 degrees C this morning at 5:00 and the temperature has only dropped a bit during the day. It should start moving down soon as it's supposed to be -2 this evening.

I found two wild flowers in bloom before 10 a.m. this morning. Both are varieties of chickweeds. This first one is the Common Chickweed. I have found it blooming under snow before but . . .


The second flower is Mouse-ear Chickweed. It's the first time I have ever seen it blooming during a January day.

This Woolly Bear was crawling across the lawn this afternoon near the dog's pen. Lucky it didn't drown.

No Snow

I made it outside for about 30 minutes today. We still have no snow but I do have a nasty virus. 'nuff said.

December Sunrise

We had about five minutes of sunshine just as the sun came over the horizon this morning. This young walnut tree caught some of the first light.

I have been wanting to capture the beauty of the Wild Raspberry canes all fall. This is my best so far and still I am not quite satisfied as they are so striking to the eye everytime one passes by.
