Baby it's cold outside

 Last night and today have been the coldest temps we have had this year.  Snow flurries during the day, with the wind whipping it around a little here in the city.  I am sure it is a lot worse  in the open fields  out in the country.  The sun did shine several times this morning then the clouds covered the sky.

Two deer have been in the back garden twice today, they are foraging for food, eating the low branches of the cedar trees.  They rear up on their back legs so they can reach the branches.  All of the snow must be covering up what they were eating.

We have been on a mission today,  Hubby found a small brass screw on the back foyer floor last week, however at the time did not know where it came from, so he put it in a safe place.   Yesterday, he noticed the back door handle was missing a screw so he decided to put the screw he found on the floor back into the knob.  Well! easier said than done. that  "safe place" was not to be found.  We looked high and low, in every place where he thought he might have put it.  Even emptied the vacuum, to no avail.  After lunch he went down to work on the computer and noticed a small clock  that he had set to the correct time was not working properly.  Picking it up. something rattled inside, it suddenly occurred  to him,  the inside of the clock was the "safe place".  Door knob repaired as all is well.   

 Dinner tonight Swedish meat balls in mushroom sauce with fettuccini noodles and salad.  Chocolate pudding, we were going to have the pudding for dinner last night but decided to bake a couple of apples instead, they were very good.
