Friday's Here-Winter Views

    Hi everyone. Happy Friday. Today I'm linking up  to Nicole's  Friday Face Off  and Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.

    It's been a mostly cold week at my house, and even though we did get a tiny bit of rain on Wednesday, it still looks a lot like winter. Today I'm sharing some of those winter views, mostly from around my yard.

    From this angle my greenhouse looks cold and empty.

    But the inside is actually a disaster zone. 😈 I moved a few things in here to store them for the winter and a few of the plants I was keeping in here have since died. As expected. But I did get basil to last into November which was great since if you're familiar with this plant, it is very susceptible to cold.  On the ground you can see some kale that needed a bit of water and is still hanging on, as well as some garlic. I hope I can get both of them through the winter since they're very hardy plants. (But time will tell.)

And the frost made some cool patterns on the "window" panels.

    The bees are all snug in their hive for the winter. We put up  a frame protective structure around them to help keep the wind off of them, wind being far worse than snow on them since with wind they can't maintain the high hive temperature they need to survive.

    And so far so good. The other day I found they had done a bit of hive cleaning and whisked out some dead bees onto the snow.  (As they should on warmer days.)

    And here's some faces for Friday Face Off. My daughter took this photo and sent it to us. Here's her husband (my son-in-law) and the Godzilla snowman he made. I love how he added claws and teeth to it.

    Then a couple days later she sent along this photo. The deer didn't know what to make of Godzilla.

     Speaking of deer, this one was eating some bird food I scattered on the ground the other day. I'm just glad he didn't reach up and pull the feeders down. And excuse the darkness, but it was later in the day and getting dark when I noticed him.

     And the other day these 2 decided my lunch smelled delicious. 

   That's it for me. Have a super Friday and weekend ahead.
