RDP Thursday – TEMPERATURE
“Oh, the temperature outside is shocking …” and it really is. Really really cold, though it’s supposed to go up into the 40s over the weekend. I hope so. Because nothing is melting.

SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
I don’t think I’ve seen a close up of your mailbox before. Are those both yours? They really do have those little red flag things.

No, the other one is the neighbor across the street. Our is the one squashed down by a plow. We’ll have to prop it up again when the snow melts. The little red flag when it’s upright is supposed to tell the mail carrier to stop and collect your mail. They NEVER stop. Ever. But every mailbox has flag. Maybe in some other place they actually do stop.

I wondered why it was so much lower.

Snow plow must have hit it. It’s probably completely off it’s post and we’ll have to fix it, but we can’t until the snow melts.

Why did our mailbox get squashed and not our neighbor’s? Blatantly racist!

You have a ridiculous amount of snow there, Marilyn. Do the dogs try to escape now that their fences have turned into little hills? I don’t know how you get a single thing done in winter. Stay warm.

There isn’t enough for the scotties to get out and the Duke jumps the fence whenever he feels like it. The only think I get done in the winter are blogs and photographing birds. And even that seems to be getting to be too much.

Time for a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate, and a good movie, Marilyn.

Yes, a classic old movie is usually the ticket for me — good, bad or ugly.

Not sure how we managed it, going from 4 ft of snow to nothing and within two days, ugly ass beatles the like of which I’ve never seen before showing up. Ugh!

That happens here, too. The minute the snow melts, the ants and ticks are hopping.

I thought they at least hibernated, but these ones, well, it started snowing again yesterday, a skiff, it disappeared into the woodwork so to speak.

As utterly beautiful these pixs are, this feels awful too – you must despair – alone in your hidden house with tons of the white stuff. Keep warm and cozy up with a hot tea and something to make the time pass.

Leslie, the dogs have changed the color of the snow in their front yard. Any more info is TMI.

Yes, a lot of snow. It’s bone chilling cold. I was wearing my Marine Corps winter jacket with a fleece-lined vest under it. I could still feel the cold. I inadvertently shot in “movie mode” as I shot pics. My fingers were numb – even wearing “glubs”.
