According to one account that I heard some years ago, PhD means Piled higher and Deeper.  I’m not saying that the account is true, but around here snow is PhD.

Beside the driveway near the house

It’s not to bad near the house, but out toward the barn it’s a different story.  If you know what I mean. :beam:

Piles of snow to water the land come spring

Perhaps with all this cold weather fewer pesky bugs will survive to bother us come spring and summer.  I hope the good guys make it through okay–especially the honey bees. 😎

I was going to post this some time ago, but then I managed to distract myself.  I was checking satellite images online looking at land usage patterns in Barcelona, Spain.  Street View gave me a different vision of how it is that city.

From there I started looking for a Blimpie’s restaurant in Madrid.  Sylvia and I ate there 16 years ago.  It appears to have given way to a tobacco shop.  Perhaps that’s progress? :dontknow:

I have my next computer assembled and I’ll soon connect a keyboard, mouse and monitor to begin loading operating system, software and configuring them.  It’s been another good day. :up:

Sub-zero temps worked their magic on the landscape overnight.  This morning we woke to a sugar-frosted world.  (Winter really is beautiful when you don’t have to shovel it out of drive and walk ways.)

This morning’s view north from our home

I had my annual physical exam with my primary care physician this morning.  On the 4 mile drive to his office I saw even more beautiful displays of rime icing.  Unfortunately, the camera was at home.

Good news all the way round from the medic.  That certainly helps a fellow’s outlook.

With a heaping helping of assistance from Sylvia, I managed to repair my recliner.  One of the four zig-zag spring that support the seat had broken.  :stars:   I’m hoping our repair holds.  I should go test that chair . . . and I feel a nap coming on. 😉
