Room mates and butterflies. Early Winter?

 My college room mate and his wife visited this weekend. After all these years I can still see why we chose to room together. We spent several hours in a butterfly conservatory, where, thanks to Peter's insatiable curiosity and need to understand, I learned a substantial amount about butterflies. The butterfly place is now on are list of things we might  do, especially on cold days.

Yesterday was real opportunity for frostbite. The high was 16 and winds hit over 30 mph. We had a dusting of snow to make things pretty  to look at, but I cut my walk to about 1/4 mile just to keep my ear lobes intact.

Its 11 degrees now, but with no wind, so I will go out for a walk soon.
