Happy Valentine's Day!


It's a cold one!  We had a low of -21 last night with a wind chill of -40.  It's still -15, but we have bright sunshine - except for some frost particles that seem to be between us and the sun.  There is a light wind that puts the wind chill to about 26 below.  Fred is out there doing his runs up Jamie and Marie's driveway - he split them up and came in to warm up after three, and has gone out to finish.  I will not venture out until high noon - but it isn't going to warm up much even then; it will possibly get up to zero, but then will go back down for tonight.

Not a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day, but hopefully most folks can stay inside.  We wish you a pleasant day being warm, safe and feeling loved. 

Cousin Ora sent this photo of her bleeding heart bush last spring.  How pretty is that!!
Perfect little hearts on Valentine's Day.
Enjoy.
