When I came downstairs this morning, the temperature outside was -5, and despite wearing several layers of clothing, I did not feel warm. The sun has appeared, so it is a little warmer, but not much.
I needed to fill up the bird feeders, for it really bothers me just how much the little ones are suffering. Not that I wanted to go out there, but it would haunt me if I didn’t.
Normally, I would pop out there, minus a coat, and very often minus shoes too, but today I wore a thick jacket and flipflops. I was so glad I did, for it is a winter wonderland out there. The grass was white and crunchy when I walked on it, and everywhere I looked, thick frost sparkled in the sunshine.
I came back indoors for my phone, hoping to capture a few photos and not freeze to death while I was at it.
The world seems to have gone crazy lately, with earthquakes, raging forest fires, and subzero temperatures. Wherever you are, we hope you stay dry, safe, and warm.
