Still winter

Woke up this morning to 5 degrees with an expected high of 17 degrees.  It’s a white world outside with snow still on the branches of the trees along the highway.  Yup, it’s still winter, darn it.
I ordered two flowering tropical plants for my B-day and they came yesterday, packed in a cooler with a [...]
