FIRST POST FROM MY REVIVED GREEN MACHINE...THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY!
This is what I woke up to this morning. It is cold outside. The weatherman had been predicting....I was hoping he would be wrong. But when I opened the door to put the dogs out and the ice fog came rolling in our living room, I wondered. When the cold hit our dogs in the face and they faltered before stepping onto the front porch, I suspected and when I opened the door to let them back in a few seconds later and saw that they had done their business on the porch...I knew. Lovely. It's a good thing I love those little stinkerbutts. I grabbed my iphone as I went on the front porch to clean up their present for me and grabbed these pictures for you.
We haven't seen 50 below for a few years here...not that I miss it. But there is also an eerie beauty that comes with those temps. Best viewed from inside the house no doubt. And I am so glad today is not a work day, because there are no shut downs up here for extreme temperatures, life goes on. Really glad my life is going on from inside my house today. :)
Holy crap that's cold, wow!! It must look gorgeous from inside the house though ;)
ReplyDeleteJen...I wish I could be all cavalier and say, "yeah, it's no big deal, takes a special person to live up here" and it does, but I'm pretty much wishing I lived anywhere but here today. My curtains are closed and my heater is cranked. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing we burn wood. I don't feel too bad throwing another log on the fire and raising the interior temperature a few more degrees. The ice fog has been crazy though.
ReplyDeleteSo grateful for our boiler...we would owe Sourdough our last child if we were only heating with oil...hikes.
DeleteDang! Totally agree that cold like that makes things so pretty...love ice fog covered trees, not so fond of the temps needed for it, though!
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty...it'll be fun driving to work in the morning though. Wish me luck.
