Last night we were reminded of winter’s chill as we lit a fire in the fireplace to help keep the furnace from running non-stop. This morning we were greeted by a dusting of snow underneath which there was a coating of ice. At first light I was up and outside taking pictures and found out my daughter had already beat me to seeing the snow as she left her mark at the front door.
The animals are sleeping by the hearth to get warm but occasionally take to a window sill to get that added dose of sunshine.
Even the rain buckets froze preventing the neighborhood cats that stop by from time to time from getting a drink. Luckily a thaw will be coming soon and everything will get back to normal.
Spring isn’t that far away with thoughts of seed starting for a garden so this little winter chill is certainly more tolerable with that in mind. Keep warm where ever you are and remember this: winter will pass!
