Today's Weather in Your Garden - 61

Great shot, Patti! I see it was formal.

13 and windy here. Winter is back! Brrrrrrrrrrr. And my pellet stove is acting up. Ugh.

Victor, Very, but check out the casual attire of the kids. She was not angry with us, as all the humans are kept a long way off on a fenced off board walk.

Maine swimming for me was a couple of years ago at Prout's Neck. I like cold water.

The Steamships just canceled today's runs....too rough. But clear and sunny. 18*. Patti

Wow the babies are almost as big as Mom. I bet they are a handful, or should I say flipper. What a fun time you must have had there.

Cute!

was 5 here this morning and now it is 15 in the sun so it is probably 5 below:) - very windy.

great pictures of the killer whale appetisers patti! It has been a couple years now since i was able to "enjoy" the 30 hour plane trips and time zone changes - they can take there toll!

Wha, I am recovering by doing all my spring orders. Good thing that my mom paid for the trip! Here is the intrepid nearly 95 year old gal on Jan 22. Her collapsible cane is mostly for show and rough walks like at the botanical garden. Doing some damage at Avant, Rosydawn, SW Roses, Klehm's, etc.... Patti

She is a force of nature! God bless her.

Ditto to what Victor said. So glad she is able to experience things like this.

C c cccccccold.
It's only 19!!!!! Of course hubby has to clean out the pellet stove so I can't run it till tonight brrrrrrr. It gets so stinkin' cold in our family room. Middle of wall and down is cinderblock and we're on a slab.....need to find info on those radiant heat mats that they are now putting in in bathrooms, I wonder if you can put it under carpeting???

Cute penguin pics.
Good for your mom, I love seeing older ones real active.

I would not think so, Jen. Thought you liked the cold?!

I like it cold but not in my house.

your mom looks great patti! looks like your slacking a bit on the damage being done, haven't seen you on the coop forum yet:)

Thanks, mom is a force for sure.

Wha, Too busy to post the damage, and a tad embarrassed. Just worked on a small Brent and Becky. I have Victor's Fairweather cat next to me. That could be trouble. Patti

:) where do you find the space - the pictures of your yard look full and mature!

Wha, Lots of room, just not as much energy as my brain thinks my body still has. I am doing a new bed to connect one that I never liked with another that seems lonely. Good excuse. It will have more shrubs and be full of white stuff. But not snow!
Saw this rather large rock in Kruger Park and thought of you. The stones on top were not small.

Still under 20* and blowing a fair bit with gusts to near 40mph. Patti

Wow, Patti--an erratic to be sure! Still have high winds here & temp is 15°.

Hope you're referring to the big rock, and not to mom!

Don't be silly, Victor.

Can't help myself. ^_^

Yeah, hubby came home for lunch and cleaned out the pellet stove, it is now running, should be toasty shortly.

Can't do smile face, sorry.

^ _ ^ this without the spaces for the colored one(you won't see it in the preview)
and alt 1 for the black and white

How do you do the wink in b & w??

What brand of stove do you have, Jen? I have Harman.

☻that one???

The Earth Stove

Is that a wink?? Too small.

--

Well that didn't work, did it???

But we can't do the yellow winks, right?

^_^

Hey, we're up to 21 now and partly cloudy.

A toasty 14 here with a steady 10mph NW wind with some very strong gusts. Don't even want to think about wind chill temp. Sun is still beaming down which makes it look warmer at least.

Those are smiles. I meant winks.

Can't find any.

^-^ & ☺ ?

well, I got the 2nd one, anyway. ☺

Lows for tonight have changed to -1 with windchills of -20 to -29 degrees!!
No smiley face this time.......we made plans to go out for dinner!!

Great shots of the penguins, Patti! I really love that shot of them on the beach. So gorgeous! I'm sure my Bailey and Carli can give those penguin babies a run for their money!!! LOL

Your Mom looks wonderful! What a lovely trip to take together! But that flight home sounds so stressful. Sooooo glad you made it home safe and sound! ^_^

Not the dash - the underline _

Yes - hold the shift key, Lucy.

I never hold that key long enough, keep going back to capitalize names.
