Yes. “I must risk my life to step outside and take some pics of cute icicles!”

A green clothesline with little icicles spaced evenly along it.

Today’s “weather event.”
Mini icicles coating everything now.

Ha. You've made me recall Alex Colville's painting "Refrigerator" (1977).

Nice. The recent film Peter Hujar’s Day was filmed there.

Am trying to figure out where his legs are :)

A potted cyclamen plant with one dark pink flower, in front of a window.

Same, close up.

Late bloomer.

At least Sunday will only be 23 hrs long.

Nice photo (but oh dear!)

Made me look it up! Found that it’s Deuteronomy 10:16 (not Numbers).

We like the Criterion channel, which is about $15 a month and has lots of really good films. Lots of older ones.

Eight tickets doesn’t allow you to watch much, does it? I keep meaning to find out if each person in a household can subscribe.

Intriguing! I’ve never heard of those, though I live in a very snowy place.

That's really nice. I've found I really appreciate having what I've gone through (same thing as you) acknowledged.

Do these editions have a decent-sized font? I have a Melville House edition and the font is way too small--something one can't know when ordering books online.

Ha!

A Canada Post van parked on a residential street.

Same van being loaded onto a tow truck.

Unusual to see a postal van parked outside for so long. I began to worry about the postman. Now it all becomes clear!

Dusk. On the snowy roof of a house, a female wild turkey walking along.

Silhouette, 6 p.m

(I did politely ask if I could be privy to their reasoning, so on Tuesday I'll be going in to the cancer centre to meet a doctor, one I've never met before and who wasn't the one who made this decision.)

A little rant about our hospital's "shared patient model." After surgery & chemo for ovarian cancer I next went on niraparib. My blood counts plummeted so drug was put on hold for 3 weeks. Today I'm instructed by the nurse to go back on. No explanation, no communication from any of the doctors. 😬

A residential street on a sunny afternoon. A man shovelling out the windrow at the end of a driveway, and a snow-covered car.

Shovelling slowly on this sunny day.

Ah, I read that book few years ago. A good one.

Pls forgive my pedantry (!) but that looks a teeny bit cropped. This is from NG website:

A hardcover copy of “The Broken Road” by Patrick Leigh Fermor.

You’ve prompted me to bring it out :)

Yes, I enjoyed those a lot, maybe about 15 years ago. And I have another, "The Broken Road - from the Iron Gates to Mount Athos" based on texts that he hadn't had time to finish when he died in 2011. But I haven't read it yet!

Manichaeism! She was drawn to it. (I've been reading Black Lamb and Grey Falcon.)

Inside page of Matt Cohen’s The Disinherited, with very yellowed paper

…with their yellowed pages!

A card with Lawren Harris’s First Snow, North Shore of Lake Superior (1923).

The snowy one made me look over at a card on the mantel (because echoes).

Such a feeling of lush depth, esp. in the left foreground

I wonder. We have two. They're good solid hangers, so I don't imagine people throw them out!

A wooden hanger with “Hollanderized garments keep their beauty longer” resting on a bookshelf.

I can’t resist:
