Toronto is in a ‘deep freeze’ right now with temperatures dipping below minus 20 degrees Celsius. (minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit) Add in the windchill factor and we are talking somewhere around minus 28 degrees!
THAT’S COLD!!!!
Just how does one handle this cold???
I am taking my cue from the brave robin who has been visiting my backyard today. Sheltered from the wind and fluffing up his feathers to keep warm, this orange and grey ‘puff-ball’ has the right idea. Nature shows the way…..extra insulation!
So tonight I will be wrapping myself up in my orange and grey mohair blanket with an orange Mongolian fur pillow and probably curling up into a ball.
When will spring be here??!!
I love that little robin 🙂
I love birds. Often wish I could fly like them! Check out my post where I state that. https://modmissy.com/2012/12/03/i-believe/
I love birds to! So free. I`m sure my first dream was of flight, and it“s never really stopped.
Brings back memories! You could toss some raisins out for that bright robin. And at such times I would go to – Allen – Edward? – Gardens down on King Street, I think it is. Must still be there but that was many years ago. And wander slowly through the tropical atmosphere. You would find a bird-of -paradise flower, I imagine, and give you a boost of orange as well.
These days I am spending as much time as I can near our fireplace. Not very productive, but definitely cosy!
Wonderful picture of the robin. The orange of its breasts seems to bring colour to the dull winter colouring in the surroundings.
