Childlike Pleasures

Yesterday, after raining all morning, we suddenly had a furious snow-storm, which, from my upstairs bedroom window, blew from all directions, including up!  The temperature dropped steadily and it was a frosty clear day today.  I discovered that the bathtub out back, clogged by leaves so that the recent rains filled it, had about a half-inch of ice built up, so like any 50-something year old kid, I had to poke it!

Life's simple pleasures really are the best!

And today....

The discovery!

After poking

Shark!!!

A tiny survivor

The iceberg

The shark

And then, of course, I had to poke it!

And on January 1st...

...and this is how it has stayed for a week!
