My little poser boy. Looking handsome as ever (at least I think so, but I may be biased).

So, the snow will be leaving us soon as it started raining today. Leaving us only after it turns into a slushy mess of course. While it was raining, it was still freezing outside. I could tell because the rain was blown against the windows by the wind, where it froze to create a sheet of ice on the window. This is a picture of a tree in our front yard as seen through the sheet of ice on my office window. As a side note, today was a year since my back surgery. I still have some pain in my back (losing a bit of weight and getting in better shape would help), but it has been night and day since my surgery.

Colored ice balls. This, for some reason, is something I have wanted to do when it is freezing outside for awhile, but I always forget. This time I didn’t. I took some balloons, put some food coloring inside them, filled them with water and then put them out on our deck over night. Then, today, I had colored balls of ice when I took off the balloons. I thought they were pretty neat so I took a picture of them on our deck rail. Not really sure what else to do with them.

Hummingbird! We have a hummingbird that always hangs around. If the feeder is empty or not up there he comes up to the window and stares us down. During this stretch of winter weather and super cold temperatures, the feeder kept freezing up. So, every couple hours we would thaw is out and put it back out there. I am sure he appreciated it. I don’t know how he survived when the weather was in single digits (negative when you consider wind chill). But, survive he did. I am happy to report he survived the coldness and we have seen him happily eating from the feeder since it warmed up.
