It's been way too long since I posted a message. So sorry.

Have been nearly snowed in here in the mid-west and we're enjoying our 2nd full week of near zero temperatures and wind chills near -20. There's just something wrong when Missoula, Montana is warmer than Kansas City! Nearly 20 inches of snow on the ground isn't helping.

The fascination of a proverbial winter wonderland and the anticipation of playing outside in it is wearing a little thin.

City services only plowed our subdivision a couple of times but it still requires my 4-wheel drive to maneuver to the main road. But, I whine too much...in no time it will be August and

over 100 degrees. Then I'll be wishing it were cool again.

This is a photo I took on Christmas Eve of frost on a very cold glass window.

Two short weeks ago it was 70 degrees here in the Plains. Today we had an all-day rain that will turn the roads into skating surfaces in the next couple of hours....tomorrow promises single digit temps and a 35-40 mph wind.... that makes the wind chill about -20 degrees. oh, the joys of living in Kansas in the winter!! Feels more like Montana to me.

The blog's not loading photos tonight. I'll try again tomorrow.
