Brrrr...it's Cold

It's another cold day but for some reason today I'm really having trouble getting warm. I've turned the heat up, got my blanket on and I still can't get warm. Grrr…. I thought about getting in the bath, but that will have to wait as husband came home and took a shower and then son got home from working and ran a bath to warm up himself! If I'm still not warm later, after the water heats up again I might take one anyway.

I did get out for a walk today. I went over to the park. There weren't many geese around, only a couple who have trouble flying. I felt so bad for them. The stream/pond had mostly frozen over and they were sitting on the ice. I had taken some bird food (cracked corn) with me so gave them some of that. Later I found a few ducks on another part of the stream that wasn't quite as frozen and gave them some of the food too. I think it was too cold for even the squirrels as I didn't see any at all!

I admit today to spending far too much time reading. I got caught up in a really good book and had trouble putting it down enough so that I only did the basics. It was a book I'd picked up at the library bookshop and hadn't read as I wasn't quite sure I would like it (although at some point I must have liked the synopsis as I bought it!). As I'm determined to get through some of my book stash I had put it in my pile-to-read-soon. What an unexpected delight! The only problem now is that I want to read the others in the series.

I don't think I've read this author before but I really enjoyed this book!

There were lots of birds in the garden again eating a lot. We're supposed to get lots of different weather over the next 24 hours - rain, snow and freezing rain. Lovely!
