Is Winter Necessary?

Three storms rolled over in three days and this was the second one.
The third one is playing with us as I write. Mostly it's blowing drifts into inconvenient places like walkways and entrances to anything useful.

Before storm #2 began, you could read the entire "Antiques" sign.

This is good for all the little nippers who want sleds for Christmas and the rest of us just have to adapt.

Now This Is My Kind Of Winter

This was the temperature around nine this morning. Remember people, we are talking the Canadian east so it's the 63 F that should be impressing you..

I had tossed the green spiky plant when I thought summer had ended. It continued to flourish lying on its aide behind the globe cedar so I plunked it into the iron planter for another reincarnation. Now it's a Christmas decoration.





The fish are swimming around aimlessly, no doubt wondering why they aren't hunkered down under a sheet of ice. I'm continuing to feed them since I have no idea what's around to nosh on in that pond.
