At 6:37 am my weather app said it was 0°, wind was out of the north at 11 mph, humidity was at 83%, wind chill at −17° and light snow was falling. Later at 7:13 am I was enjoying a mocha latte at Mugs and had to snicker at the insane individuals who would be out in this weather, unless they were my barista or the city snowplow driver. Told my baristas, Emma and Jess, that I needed to have a conversation with McCabe and Marlie (the owners) about paying them double-time for working on days like this. They thought it was a great idea! When I got home I noticed the geese were sleeping in late so I quietly took three images. They looked so comfortable I didn’t want to wake them. Now at my computer, slippers on, furnace running, sipping on a hot chai tea and have a grateful heart! ❤️ Going to be a day for reading and writing. Looks like most of the country is cold today so stay warm!!!

This photo certainly speaks adaptation to winter – but it doesn’t look all that comfortable. Today my gratitude is having power and indoor heating.

I am also grateful to have power otherwise I would have a quiet furnace and I’d be drinking an iced chai rather of a hot one. I agree sleeping a frozen pond with a layer of snow on top of me is not that inviting! Stay warm because I see you’re facing frigid weather also!

Looks like those geese had the right idea, time to hunker down. Stay warm out there!

Hunkered down is a good description. How nature does these things is amazing. It was -13 degrees at 6:15 am. We’re all the way up to -2 now.

They do look so very cold. I wonder if they ask one another why they didn’t stay in Florida. 😄

Probably run out of Florida by the pelicans and seagulls or there’s more ice and cold here. It makes me cold each time I see this scene. Stay warm and dry.
