Cold – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Cluck-a-noodle-doo!

Nothing warms the soul like a bowl of hot, homemade chicken noodle soup on a cold winter day! #chickennoodlesoup #cold #winter

Normally this plant, which we call “Seymour,” sits outside in the nice, warm Florida weather; only there hasn’t been any warm weather lately. So, we temporarily put our little green friend in the garage to keep him from freezing. Over the weekend it will get even worse, we’re expecting temperatures in the low twenties! ThisContinue reading “On Becoming a House Plant”

Down Jacket

Breezes ruffled its feathers as the wren puffed up its downy insulation to fend of the chill of a passing cold front. Stay warm, my feathered friend. #wren #down #feathers #cold

Feeling Blue

It’s over; the mild autumn weather has turned frigid and freezing temperatures have arrived. We even had to put a blanket on the pool. As I sadly did my duty, I couldn’t help saying, “See ya’ next spring.” #cold #winter #pool #freeze

Fall Is in the Air

Unusually high temperatures in Wisconsin have given way to more seasonal weather after a cold front passed through that dropped some rain and chilled the air. Now the temperatures are falling like the leaf that was serendipitously captured in this photo of Devil’s Lake. #fall #autumleaf #wisconsin #cold #devilslake

Ice-cold Birdbath

This morning was our first hard freeze in two years. It was 24 degrees at the local airport, and while not as cold in our sheltered yard, it froze water in the birdbaths. About a quarter inch thick layer held leaves in suspension while a few icicles drooped along the edge of the birdbath. IContinue reading “Ice-cold Birdbath”

Shiver Hula

It’s cold out, especially for Florida. Snow fell in the panhandle and here, a hard freeze is likely Friday night. So was this hula lady dancing or shivering? Even I was shaking a bit when I got this photo, and no, I wasn’t dancing. #hula #hulalady #ukulele #cold #freeze

Drinking the Bath Water

Moments before the photo was taken, a robin was splashing and bathing in the water. Other robins joined the fray, then encircled the rim and began drinking. When its cold and dry outside, I guess the birdbath has to serve multiple purposes. However, the thought is a little unappealing to me, so a little whileContinue reading “Drinking the Bath Water”

Florida Snow

While the central and northeastern U.S. is battling frigid temperatures and snow, our only snow is fake and is indoors. I like it that way. #snow #indoors #floridawinter #cold

Frosty the Frog

This poor little frog sat immobile on the edge of the road, soaking up sun rays in hopes of getting warm enough to be able to hop again. It was too cold to leap away as I took this up-close photo but rather, remained motionless. Though mostly out of harms way, I certainly hope heContinue reading “Frosty the Frog”
