This was the view from our bedroom window first thing
today.It is the roof of my car, which
had been left outside overnight. Jack frost has been busy painting his patterns.
Soon be winter?...Oh no, don't say such things, Snafu! Our winter is really nothing by most standards, but I think I'm just programmed to react to the word winter after our years in Toronto and Minnesota. I dread winter.
Jack Frost is quite the artist! He's been around here recently, too, although yesterday the temps went up to 19 degrees and no need for a jacket again. No wonder we are all wandering around sniffing and sneezing! I must try JF's design in a tangle.
What fab patterns! I haven't seen any frost where I am yet - not looking forward to trying to de-ice the car. The key is getting up earlier, I presume. Not looking forward to doing that, either!
Tribute to my brother

Back in 2002, DOTH came to visit me in Romania. While she was there, we

Happily married, retired. The name SNAFU was accidental, I got cross with Blogger because my name is so commonplace any variation I could think of was already in use. Computer systems do not do sarcasm and so it accepted my comment as my user name. I am not hiding my identity, my name is Pete Morris. Lifelong geek and technophile. Bookshelves in nearly every room of the house, from Blyton to Einstein. Spent most of my working life training adults in geeky stuff, from basic electrics to computer systems. My heroes are, amongst others, Richard Feynman, Freeman Dyson and Eric Laithwaite and if you don’t need to look them up in Wikipedia then you are my kind of geek. .

ReplyDeletePretty - but scary. I hate frost and ice because of the distances I drive to and from work.

ReplyDeleteFrost. Noooo. Winter is fast approaching. Still, we get to see pretty pictures like these!
