Frost Feathers
Dear Diary,
We are back in negative numbers this morning, so much for our January thaw! Well, when nature gives you frigid temperatures, make photographs of frost feathers! I couldn't have photographed these before the thaw because the roof outside was covered in snow and the white background made it hard to really get a clear picture of the frost. Now that the snow is gone, there they are! I guess the lesson here is, for every negative there is a positive!
Somehow though, it always feels colder when there is less snow on the ground. I know that seems counter intuitive but it is true for me. Without the blanket of white wrapping the house the cold air seeps in more easily and in a house that is over 160 years old it is very easy for that cold air to get in. Snow is a great insulator.
So, extra layers today and a fire in the wood stove I guess. Emerson likes to nap in front of the heat registers! Not many sunbeams for the little boy to bask in unfortunately. Take heart Emerson, it is only 2 months until spring!
