Chilly enough for frozen sparkly beads to form on the lake weeds in northern Wisconsin. @ess77, @jakedduck1 you don’t have this where you live! @artist01, it won’t be long until you get the familiar cold winds up there! ☺️

@loribmt
Looks sorta like my freezer. I think it's too full.
Guess the ducks haven't returned yet.

@loribmt, @jakedduck1 ,@ess77. Love the string of tiny icicles hanging from that log, Lori. Great pictures!
AND, our winds are HOWLING out there tonight! With rain too. We're expecting what the TV news called
"a weather bomb", tomorrow. The north end of our Vancouver Island may get winds up to 120 (hurricane level). Here, in the mid-island area, we can expect 50 to 70 tonight and tomorrow. Yikes. It's been awful weather here pretty much all month. Dark and rainy.
Wellll, we do choose to live in a rain forest! 😊
I get my Covid booster shot tomorrow. I received a letter from our Provincial Health Officer saying I am
"clinically extremely vulnerable with respect to Covid 19". I knew that! 🤣 My 1st shot (Moderna) was fine, no side effect, but the 4th day after the 2nd Moderna, I was feeling so nauseated and dizzy, I could barely eat or drink for five days. I sure hope the booster goes a bit easier, although I realize a good reaction means I built up lots of antibodies!!
Are any of you going for that third jab? I think you should! Hugs and warm thoughts. Laurie

@loribmt and all....Nope! Not ever here, I'm afraid. Beautiful, my dear. It snowed and stayed overnight in the '80s. We've had 3 good snowfalls and a really wicked ice storm one year in the '70s, No one in Jax knows how to drive in the ice or snow, not really and nor many anyway, so it was a hoot. Most of the city stayed off the streets completely. The bridges over the St. Johns River were all closed down, really dangerous, and might end in the water. It was fun, tho, kind of, but my store was closed and I couldn't get across town to open it for a couple of days One of my staff opened for me as soon as she could get out and about. That, my dear, was a lifetime ago. Our winters are not even winter as you know it.

Today it's in the "80. Have been upstairs all day. Ck'd the feeders several times out the window, but not much activity I saw, except of course my precious pesky squirrels. I must spend more time enjoying the patio. A neighbor one street down called yesterday and came down with a chocolate ice cream cone in hand. We went for a bit of a walk eating the treat and chatting. She lives alone but has a daughter and family in town and sees them often. But, she's lonely. 'Short walk as I couldn't breathe well, but after another friend with her dog joined us, we chatted and I walked back as they went on. They're both in pretty good shape, with normal issues like knees, back, bp, etc. We will do this again soon....

blessings, to all,
