    Hello friends!
    Happy "#aliveandthriving Tuesday evening" To You!
    βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈβœ¨
    And, Thank You so much for your visit!

    So friends, today was something truly different - we got our annual "4 hours" of Winter! I was hoping that this year we would get through it without freezing, but it did happen. Still, it has been "much" warmer than normal - and by Friday will be again!

    And I do know for most of America, this is "nothing" - I grew up (mostly) in New Jersey/ New York. They consider this a joke!

    And so, early this morning when I took the trash out the porch had iced over,

    Here is the railing,

    And a Mug I had left on the porch, all iced over!

    This is walking past the truck, ice on the windows!

    And a little sleet that collected at the neighbors - we had a short chit-chat, about the weather!

    Also she has the Lilies I have photographed in the past, here are the plants today - covered in sleet,

    And another tall photo,

    And a bit wider shot,

    And on top of the Cold, the worst part we had 35 mph / 56.33 kph winds! Although my place is well sealed, basically for A.C. in summer - it was pretty drafty!

    Later in the day we did get up to around 40Β°F/4.44Β°C, so the day ended up looking like this - a view drom the driveway out,

    And from there we should bounce right up to 70Β°F / 21.1Β°C +/- by Friday - Saturday!
    That was it for my #laiveandthriving Tuesday today!
    I want to thank you again for your visit and,
    I am Wishing you a Very Blessed, Happy, and Safe, Mid-Week!
