I liked your photograph near the pool, looks interesting.

I can do without the snow, last August we had our coldest day for 50 years here it got down to 12 deg C and thats cold enough for me.

Brians snow looked interesting, i have seen a photograph of him during the Canadian summer and i can tell you I do not wear that much clothing in our winter.

Its 35 deg C here today and thats how it should be warm enough to drink beer but too warm to do any work.

Rgds Ian

Ben,

Thanks for the pics and the update. Are those houses made from birdhouses from Michael's per the article in last month's GR?

Try to stay warm and keep dreaming about spring, it really is just around the corner.

Nice pix Ben, with any luck I'll be out to see you again this spring.

Speaking of unpredictable weather, 4 days ago it was 70, then that night it snowed and iced, 38 the next day, today started out 69, an hour later it's 55 with 40-50mph winds and heavy rain and expected to drop into the 40's by the afternoon. Tomorrow? Maybe in the 60's, maybe some snow.

Missouri has been mostly snow-free and we have had some 50-60 degree temps in January. I still haven't got my garden layout running because Mizzou is notorious for unpredictable weather.

Hi Ben,
Great work! I'm waiting patiently for Spring here too. My line is well buried now. More snow on the way I'm told. Welcome to the "Great White North" eh. That's OK for now...working on the indoor stuff! Thanks for sharing the pics. You made very good use of those bird houses. Later eh...Brian.
