Spring coming? Really?

Well, there is a little bit of spring inside the house anyway.  Still -17C (0 F) outside in the mornings and it snowed yesterday so I had to shovel again.

I like the combination of tulips and daffodils.

PS:  Maybe it is coming after all.  There is some brown grass showing these days, it's actually above freezing since I can't remember when, and yesterday I saw lots of Canadian geese out on the golf courses.

BRRRR

I think this has been the coldest weekend so far this year.  Here's what I look like after a 45 minute walk with Hannah at -30 C (-22 F).

I'm wearing two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, my warmest pair of Uggs boots, two sweaters, of course hat and scarf and Rolo's motorcycle mittens, along with my big warm coat.  I can't wear my glasses because they fog up and then freeze.  The fur around my hood, my hair that hangs out and the scarf get all frosty from my breath.

Hannah goes out with just her beautiful wheetie coat - she doesn't seem to mind the extreme cold anymore, although we do limit the length of walks when it is this cold.

Wow, summer in Houston is going to be tough for her...
