We are having the polar vortex again. Single temperatures, where you can not be out in for a length of time. You see people scurrying into the grocery and back to their cars.
The sun was out early then hid for hours with on and off snow. Later in the day the sun came back out. The sky were blue and pretty. This really helps me when it cold out.
Here's some of my mums . I do not cut them down , so the little birds have places to hide or get in out of the wind. Some times I scare them or they scare me , when I walk by here.
This is yesterday's sunset. I love seeing it. I know it's not long till spring(36 days) officially...so that makes this cold stuff a little easier to bear.
Wishing all of you a great Saturday. Hope you get a valentine from a loved one. XO
I hope this is the last of winter's bluster for you. I think the world is ready for an early spring! How kind of you to leave the plants standing for shelter. Little birdies must find a tiny nook wherever they can...
ReplyDeleteCan you even believe the sun is out and the skies are so blue and clear...I love, it's like a lifting of my spirits. Some times I could cry when I see the little birds...then I know that God is watching them...that makes me happy. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Deletesuch beautiful photos, even the cold blustery ones are lovely, spring is a very long way away for us,
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I know you are in this new polar vortex...it's so cold, it's scary. Stay warm dear friend, Blessings to all, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI think I'm cold down here in Georgia and then I read you bloggers from up north and realize we're not very cold at all. Beautiful photo of the sky.
ReplyDeleteJanet, You are probably having a heat wave compared to us. LOL. I saw 3 ladies on the today show, they were from Georgia. They were holding signs that said , "we are from Georgia and we are freezing our peaches off." I had to laugh. Blessings to you, Susie
DeleteIt is freezing. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I can't even imagine people living in these kinds of cold temperatures, on purpose. I would not be a good Eskimo. I do not like being hot either. LOL. oh give some just right shirt sleeve weather. LOL We have to keep saying 36 more days. Blessings to you and yours, got have an extra blanket at times. xoxo,Susie
DeleteYes, it's cold..That didn't keep Mollie from keeping me out for an hour this morning..Doesn't bother her..Me either, except for the wind..In the teens today..zero tomorrow with the same winds..Our walks may be a little shorter tomorrow..Stay warm Susie..
ReplyDeleteMissy, Mollie may think she's a sled dog and loves the cold. I wonder if animals ever get cabin fever. This is almost too amazing...it was so cold this morning, just bitter. I just now came inside from walking around. I walk down one drive way then a few feet on the road over to the next driveway and then up to the house and I jst keep making a loop for about 15 minutes . It's is not that cold right now...of course the sun has shone since about 9:00 . Did not feel as cold as Al Roker said it would. Bless you, enjoy your evening. xoxo,Susie
DeleteBRRRR! Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day, Susie. Thanks for visiting me today!
ReplyDeletePatty, I am hoping to make it to Noblesville to shop this spring. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie, I love your thoughtfulness for the birds! And haven't we had just about enough of this silly Polar Vortex! Where's the global warming we've been waiting for? Have a wonderful Valentine's Day. xo
ReplyDeleteJudy, Have we always had polar vortex and no one ever called it that? LOL I remember some cold winter in my youth. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie, we are cold, cold here, too! The wind chill is awful! More snow is even in the forecast for tomorrow night! Didn't that groundhog say winter was over?!?:-) xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, We were freezing this morning...and I just now walked outside , did a few laps around the driveways...and it's cold but nothing like this morning. Crazy weather. I pray our spring will be a decent one. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeletePolar vortex has returned to New York, too, and it's not fun. Staying in and grateful for heat and hot water. Keep cozy!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have a nice cozy warm home. I know for a fact, that if I did not have heat or hot water...I would not make a good pioneer. Ever !. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
Delete36 days....that is not too long...we can do this!!!
ReplyDeleteLouise, That is exactly how I think...I can bear this a bit longer...but not too much. Blessings for a good evening and stay warm. xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh Susie, I feel for you. This has been terrible...between the snow, temperatures and wind, it makes it very hard to be out in it. My son took me shopping the other day, when we came out it was snowing/sleeting and it was cold!!!! We just came home, cutting our shopping time. But, just thinking of spring makes me smile. Next week it's to get up to 50 degrees!!! Yeah!! And you know what that means...nice weather is on it's way to you!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Gert, I know we have truly had a mild winter as far as snows go, but the temperatures have been crazy high for this time of year...or so bitter cold, it's scary to go out. I am so ready for our Spring. Just praying it won't be a wet one. It's good your family is able to help you. I have worried for you. I know you will always be sweet, I want you to stay strong too.:):) Bless you, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteAfter this weekend I am definitely looking forward to spring.
ReplyDeleteBoston Boy, you will be ready for a trip to the vineyard come spring. I have been thinking of when you move your things back and forth, what kind of weather you would be having. I hope it's pleasant. We are to have snow today(Sun.) Stay warm buddy. Blessing, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a pretty sunset. I'm sorry it's so cold there. We've actually had some sun and the snow is melting. We saw signs that our grass seed planted in the fall is germinating. Spring is coming. YES! xo ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteNancy, It's kind of crazy, even after this mild winter, everyone seems to be so ready for spring. I find that winter is becoming more stressful. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Delete36 days? I can do that.....although this morning is absolutely brutal - I went out to put some nuts and seeds on the flat feeder and the cold just took my breath away!! Stay warm and happy Valentine's day!! xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, a blog friend just mentioned that she is having freezing temperatures right now, nine degrees below zero, brrrrr. That's nice that you don't cut your mum bushes down so the birds have a place to hide from the wind and cold. I love that tree picture with the white clouds in the distance.
