Just another snowy Sunday

We woke up to another four to five inches of snow this morning. It is supposed to snow lightly for much of the day, but maybe not much more in the way of accumulation. The temperature was 20 but has been steadily dropping all morning.Right now it is 7 and headed for a low today of 10 below. Tomorrow we expect a high of 7 below and a low tomorrow night of 23 below... Tom went out to clear snow this morning rather than wait until it got colder. This afternoon he will help Rich and get to the railroad sometime in the next few bitterly cold days.

Looking out the window from the kitchen, I saw three doves perched on a branch near the bird feeder. They were all puffed out and hunched over.  Here is a photo I took from the deck door in the library. The first one is the basic scene and the second is a bigger shot of the birds. Sorry, but this is the best my little digital camera can do. If Sunny were here, she could get a perfect "Winter Woe" shot!

Michael,
Maybe you can write another book: Elisha and the Doves of the Dells, a sequel to Elijah and the Ravens of Carith.

Sorry the translation project fell through. I know you had been excited about that. But now you will have more time to finish this novel we keep hearing about ... hmmm?
