Cold, snowy days...

We're rather chilly here. It's the time of year to cocoon, and find some treats. 

Joe is finding all sorts of goodies at the grocery store. Oranges from Morroco.

I am afraid to open the can on the right. It's been in the garage, and froze. Water expands when it freezes.

We keep bottled water in the garage for emergencies. We can't get water from the well if our power goes out. 

I had high hopes for the Amaryllis. That spot of colour is wonderful.  Sure enough, Feb. 17, Feb. 19, Feb. 20.

My fix for the fish tank has been pretty good. At least, I have lost any fishies! The plexiglass I placed on top works well.

Time for outdoor play. I decided to go fetch a trailcam to thaw it. This snow is deep on the lawn. 

See the camera on the tree?! Now, I could have retreated and fetched my snowshoes. I did not.

The only problem was the snow was above my knees. I don't think my snowshoes would have helped.

The purpose of that adventure was to see what was on the camera and to thaw it out. This was Sunday...

 

Then, I ran out of gas!
