| Awning on Back Patio |
We complain about the heat, but this winter we had some cold to complain about. Photos not too dramatic, but illustrative of the interesting weather pattern.

Most of the ice was higher up and these shingles were coated next door!

My feelings about the cars parked in front of the house are well documented, but I did enjoy seeing them coated in ice!

Of course, I was worried about the squirrels and was happy to see this early riser at the feeder the next morning. He coudln't get water, but at least he had food.
Although our back patio is protected by high brick walls, I go to great lengths to protect the ponytail palm that we've had since the 80's ... it's like a member of the family at this point! The patio becomes "tent city" for the plant groupings and I have two heaters that keep things warmed up under the sun umbrellas and plant coverings.

The Palm and surrounding plants get a tent with their own heater to keep their roots warm ... Ice Storm #1 didn't claim any Brewer plants!
