Daffodils and tulips growing in pots in my kitchen against a backdrop of snow and cold through the window.

A son who insists on wearing shorts but who submits to the rule that says "if it's less than freezing you MUST wear pants outside!"

My own layers and layers of clothing.

A cat who takes over the warm couch spot the instant she sees someone getting up.

Coffee, tea and anything hot to drink!

But we love the sunshine when it comes and playing in the snow.

What will the next couple of months bring?
