Snow, then bitter cold

It snowed over night so the whiteness was refreshed and the landscapes became more scenic. This is the weather vane on top of my garage and the blue, blue sky in the background. The clear blue is a forewarning of the very cold (minus eight degrees) temperatures that are descending on the city. It's quite predictable in February in this state. A snowy day is almost always followed by extreme cold.



This is as close as I got to the local rabbit in my back yard today. His tracks are the only blemish on the fresh whiteness. I think this qualifies as wildlife on a day this cold.



There was tennis as usual at the indoor club. The hardcore girls were there, as was the hard core guy, Jerry, who played as usual while waiting for his surgery on the 18th. He played well, so did the girls. Barb and I eked out two sets and we're set now for our USTA mixed doubles match tomorrow night at the same venue.

Good photo choices. I like winter scenes -- just not winter, much. Playing tennis seems like a good choice for Jerry -- positive mental attitude. Good luck to you and HCG (hard core girl) Barb in you USTA doubles. SS

BTW-- a tidbit I picked up when John was waiting over the weekend for his bypass surgery. Monday the A-team is in, they get the weekend off. And even more important, the A-team of nurses and such for the recovery process will be there also. John went home on Thursday after his Monday surgery, and had excellent care through that whole time. SS
