The days are short so the beginning and end of my days are in the dark. Yesterday morning as I came out of the garage in the dark and I caught something small rushing out of the door ahead of me. My first thought was oh no a rat! As I walked out and the light came on there it was a small white rocket with striking black eyes. An ermine, or really a weasel turned white for the winter.
Yes it is cold fourteen below here this morning and the high for the day was around five at a little after noon. On the up side it is supposed to be much warmer tomorrow. Argy and I went to Rockland this morning and the harbor was covered in sea smoke. The Rockland Breakwater Light was showing above the smoke with the water hidden from view, very pretty if cold.
Snowing early this morning, it is scheduled to change to sleet and then rain. So far this has been a different winter from last year. We had lots of snow early in November then warm with rain and clouds in December, now January is already seesawing. After this storm goes by to our north the wind will blow and winter will be back. Those cold days you all ask about will be here for a week or so. The days are already noticeably longer we have added a few minutes of daylight to our afternoon.
