Winter's Thermometer


Every morning we check the temperature outside
by opening the shade and looking at the rhododendrum.
This morning we are having a blizzard and the rhododendrum
leaves are curled up quite tightly which means it's very cold!
The tighter they are curled the colder it is, so when the
leaves are flat we know we are having a heat wave, not the
case today. Brrrrrr...


The trees are full of birds, waiting their
turn at the birdfeeders. The fine snow
is blowing sideways.


A nuthatch braved the storm...
