And it looks like this:

It has been freezing or near freezing temperatures in Houston for over a week now.  My birdbath is frozen solid.  We have a bucket on the back porch that is frozen.  This is just not right!  We live on the Gulf of Mexico where it’s warm most of the time and dang near too hot all of the other time.  It’s too cold to go outside to play, so Cat and I both have cabin fever.  Luckily school started back up for her, so at least …
