A Cold Day in Kansas

Well, winter finally came. 

This is looking out the basement window onto the patio.  It was still snowing. 

I restocked seed five times today. 

I was looking down from the tv room here. 

For some reason... the starlings I see flying all around here are not coming 

to the feeders.  

There were doves and several other kinds... and once 

I looked down and saw at least 20 purple finches. 

This is what the dogs did most of the day.  Lilly wanted to walk... but 

it was just too cold.  I actually think she could have done it, but ... Jester would have been a dogsickle. 

This... is the last tomato of 2015!  I have been using the green tomatoes I picked in 

November little by little, and this was the last.  We had tacos for dinner tonight. 

It was a little tough, it had sat in the window a long time. 

I leave you with a lovely picture... 

I am sitting here this evening going through day by day, deleting pictures from 

storage, both from my Passport external hard drive, and from the computer. 

Not deleting this one.  

Everyone in the NE Kansas area, be safe out there, 

and we are praying for all those affected by the terrible tornadoes and flooding, our 

hearts go out to them.
