Even the Thermometer Is in Denial

Even my thermometer is in denial. These arctic temperatures, 8 degrees at 8AM today, are just too brutal. My heart races the minute I set outside, body shocked and rebelling from the arctic weather.

My thermometer has the right idea. He's given up, tired of his dangerous flirtation with the number zero. With a little help from some dripping ice, he has decided to paint a rosier picture by hovering just below 30 instead of reading the true temperature.

Could it be a not so subliminal message of hope? Encouragement to think positive? Prediction of balmier weather to come? At this point, 30 degrees would be heaven.

Hi there, thanks for stopping by my place! Wow, how ironic that he's given up. I'm not used to this bone-chilling weather either. I love this pic and I agree that I'm ready for Spring and would welcome it with open arms. Snow was fun but, it's worn out it's welcome! LOL! TTYL!

Here's hoping those frigid temps will be a thing of your "Way Back" soon!

We had some seriously cold days -- and even a half-foot of snow -- that made me think I may just put myself down in the backyard. Luckily the sun is back and we're hovering mid 50s down here in the northern South.

I would be in denial too!
