The last few days have been bright and sunny with clear blue skies and a bracing nip in the air.
But I have not forgotten the first bite of winter just before,
when the world turned misty and the wild grasses leaned and the trees crackled stiffly,
and my once so friendly landscape turned bitter and cold.
bitter cold and so beautiful!

Light and powdery they say but all is charged up and water put aside for us and pets and snow can be used for toilet 🙂

The trees are magical! Sigh. It’s cold in Chicago AGAIN this year. I suspect we are in for a long winter– I can’t figure out if it was colder/hotter before or after screen shots on smart phones posted on FB/Twitter. 😀
I love the tip about Gravel and heels. Indeed!
Merry Christmas.

Personally, I just don’t see the need for all that “bracing” cold. I’d gladly give my share to someone else.

Thanks Kathy… I so agree that ice creates a fantasy world – especially when the sun shines too.

Thanks for visiting my blog Katy Beth. And I believe you are onto something there about the weather changing with the advent of screen shots and smart phone shots on FB and Twitter. It’s persuasive psychology – or subliminal suggestion. 🙂 Anxious to see more of your odd family posts too.
