Cold Morning

It was 0ºF when I stepped out the door to fetch the morning paper from the tube by the driveway. The snow crunched underfoot, the low sun cast long blue shadows and sparkled off the fresh layer of flakes that had fallen in the night. The rabbit and the squirrels had already been checking beneath the bird feeders for seed that had been rejected by the birds. We've had much colder mornings in winters past but 0º is cold enough for me. It need not try to match past performances.

Regular readers may notice a change in the name of the blog, formerly Random Ramblings, I have changed it to  North Country Ramblings. I'm considering adding an archive gallery of just the photos separate from the posts which will continue to be available in the current format.
