Winter Day at Toad Hall

It was almost achingly beautiful today. The sky in winter can be brilliant blue - only in New Mexico did we see skies so turquoise. There they were so common we complained. Longing for clouds and rainy days. Why are we never quite altogether happy with the weather? (no response, please, friends from Hawaii.) Is it just me? When it's this cold with temps way below zero we are exhilarated. Although I feel sorry for rabbits, I don't spare feelings for squirrels. The snow glints and dazzles. Each step is a crunchy squeak. Even the car tires squeak over the snow. Thought I'd share the photos Anita took around Toad Hall today. (I don't think I've quite figured out how to properly embed a slideshow. Sorry.)

Achingly beautiful indeed. Nice slide show.

Although I must say I was thankful for temps above zero today here in the "south" (Nebraska).

Here in frozen Maine, I share your joy in a frigid day! The woodstove pumps out glorious heat and coffee never tasted so good. If only I had a donut to go with...

In the words of Bono - Magnificent!

Even in Hawaii, they couldn't come up with anything as exquisite as these photos.
