Yesterday we had January thaw and it got up to 40°. I don't believe my morning weather report said that!

Will, the bamboo looks pretty hardy to me. Maybe too hardy, LOL! Is that the one you will be running after pruning?

If you are ever in the country and see a folded over snowdrift, like an ocean wave, look close. There is a blue color in the shadows. I don't think that's what your camera is capturing, but it is so cool on the drifts. Plus, blue is much better than the pinkish cast I get.

You can't believe the stuff people will do. Shady they are and they mean to be.

Deer are everywhere and jump pretty high. They do like to follow a timberline and hide most of the day.

We sat about a mile out of town and took pictures. If you look over the blue building, the Catholic Church is behind it. I zoomed. This isn't with digital zoom added, so it's clear.
