Brrr....but it is January, after all

I'm not going to complain that it's 6 degrees here this morning.

Nope. Not me. 

That's because I always complain about the heat and humidity in the summer, and I don't want to be a two-season complainer. 

Soon it will be time to layer up for the day.

At least the sun is shining. And the furnace works fine. And we have lots of blankets and throws.
And our Linus kitty is always available to pet, which helps to warm up my semi-frozen fingers and hands.  =^.^=

In other news, my Christmas cactus started to bloom! Let's hope Linus doesn't eat the blossoms. 

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ brrr...

I couldn't find a shadow shot to share today, until I braved the 19-degree cold to get the newspaper on the driveway and spied this shadow.

I missed posting a shadow last week but I'm happy to be back.

See lots more shadows from around the world at Hey Harriet, our awesome Aussie friend Tracy's blog.

And have a fun (almost Christmas) week shadow seeking!

Shadow Shot Sunday ~ icy

I took this in January. Brrrr....

As you can see we are missing a down spout in the back of the house. But the ice that formed here gave me a good photo opportunity on Thursday.

You can see many shadowy photos by visiting our meme hostess, Tracy, at Hey Harriet.

Have a good weekend all!

Looking at the Sky on Friday

~ I took these Thursday morning after Wednesday's snowfall ~ It was clear but still cold!

See many more sky photos by visiting our hostess, Tish, that CrAzY Working Mom, and join in the sky looking fun!

January beach day

Today was a good day for the beach, if you are one of those people who wants it all to yourself.
Let's just say it was cold out there.

Full disclosure: there were people walking on the nearby paved walkway. But I like these photos without anyone visible. It was rather windy, and Ralph and I didn't last too long outside, without gloves or scarves or hats. We weren't prepared for the chill.

Icy time

Well that's just about enough of that!
I poked my head out this morning to get a few ice storm photos. But I'm back in front of the computer screen, where I belong.


The only one I cropped a tad was the third photo of the ramp and front yard. All the rest are straight out of the camera, as they say. Whoever they are!
