Our first arctic cold wave is descending for a day or two, single digit temperatures, winds up to 50 mph, here come the wind chill warnings (according to my power company, people like me are supposed to stay indoors and do no chores, I’ll tell Maria).

I had the sense of it this morning when we went out to do the chores, and the sun was bouncing off of the frost on the trees and grass, a sure sign of deeper winter. The image looked cold and the sun overexposed it a bit. I liked it this way, it was what it felt like today and thru Saturday.
