What a difference a day makes…

Today the temp hit 56, a far cry from the weather the past couple of weeks, and with the warmer temps, the big melt. As I was writing this, a huge slab of snow and ice started sliding off the roof. Such a sound! The scraping and sliding started slowly and then picked up speed, scaring me for a split second until I realized what it was. I hope the gutter didn’t get knocked off and a few shingles dragged with it. I think it’s supposed to be warm again tomorrow, a nice surprise for early February!

Just a few days ago Squirrel Nutkin was playing 

in the snow on my deck, scrounging out peanuts 

and looking incredibly cute. He was watching 

me intently as I sat on the floor in the kitchen 

snapping photographs of him right and left.
