Winter is here. After almost reaching 80 degrees on Wednesday, the temperature plummeted to below 30 by 7pm Thursday. We had 9 hours of freezing rain Thursday night / Friday morning, and these are the results:

IHOP fixes everything |
We bundled up and trekked the 1/2 mile in the snow, uphill...both ways :o) for a late breakfast. We also got dinner to go since we have no food in the house.
Funny story: a big, black grackle was resting on an angled branch of the tree in the background. Throughout breakfast he would slowly slide down the branch, reposition himself a little higher, and then slide down again.
After we ate we headed carefully home, downhill this time. Our faces were cold, but we were happy.

Christmas comes home. Along with fish and chips and a turkey sandwich. |
