In the grip of winter...

You've likely been hearing on the news that Europe is experiencing one of its coldest winters in a long, long time. Fortunately Germany has lots of gas reserves so we don't have to worry about the feud that's going on between the Ukraine and Russia. We are very thankful for that. However, it has been pretty cold this winter for our part of the world (although nothing remotely near -50!) and it's been a challenge to keep the house warm. Looking today at the rivers that run through Kandern confirmed that it has indeed been a cold winter. I can't remember ever seeing an ice build-up.



Saw this watering can and liked its look...
