Cold!

Ooh, it's cold here. You too? –13ºF this morning, not due to get above zero for a couple more days.

Yesterday I took this picture of me in the city-bus's video screen (right, circled in red). For the cold, I'm wearing my bright green snow pants (as well as my usual turmeric down coat).


At work I sat (for my sore knee) and priced cool old books-- then hobbled about setting up a few book displays.
I love Children Everywhere in the pages of a book:


We're very low on novels. On an empty Fiction shelf, I set up books with book-related titles--almost always a sign of a badly written book. The Messy Lives of Book People is a great title though.

Mingling books in with housewares is working well--they sell! I added some Childcraft Annuals about nature to the owls that remain from a huge batch. A man who lived nearby collected them. He was a regular, and he left all his stuff to the store when he died.

Oh--bink is here for Sunday coffee--all for now.
I hope you're toasty!

  1. Stay warm! We are also in the deep freeze. I'm glad you have snow pants that make it easy to see you!

    1. Good point—I’m warm AND visible. Pedestrians and bicyclists are in danger from cars. Pays to be crazy-careful!

    1. It’s weird to me that people here wear a lot of grays in winter – – they just blend right into the landscape here. Not fun, not safe.

  3. Nope, can't imagine going out in that cold - we are weather weenies down here. That owl clock is pretty disturbing.
