Harry Potter Fans With No Life

While I've been on the computer, been watching this gray squirrel running around the snow, jumping from tree to tree, having a fun time by the looks. Guess even the critters are glad we're not having crappy weather at the moment. lol. Obviously it doesn't take much to amuse me this time of year.

simple amusements always make the day better ... well, in my opinion anyway.
I can't even remember the last time I actually saw a squirrel. Been a while.


mild temps today ... yay!
and with it, the wind! ugh

we've had quite a bit of fog lately ... so if the 90 day rule applies, we are going to have quite the lion at the beginning of March.
