dolllady aka Pam says:I hear and understand what your weather has been like. We have been more down than up lately. Yesterday was in the low to mix 70′s. The next 2 will be in mid to low 60′s. Friday will be low 50′s. Your pick definitely does show the beauty of yesterday.

Mary - Sweet Chick says:A lovely pick for a lovely Winter day. Glad you could get out and enjoy it.
We woke up to a cold 7 degrees this morning!

Phoenix says:I love the antique gold with the blues and ambers. The branch components are interesting too. It does look nice and warm (compared to our 9 degrees!!)

Melody F says:Pretty scenic winter pick. I like your collection of leaves. The picture jasper is tempting. Sounds like you had a lovely afternoon.

Chali-o says:The Zola element is a great fit for icy branches glowing in the sun. Lovely pick.

EPBCornell says:Ooh I love this! Chali-o, spot on about the Zola tree pendant– perfect choice for a winter tree on a warmer day. Nancy, so glad you & Teddy got out to enjoy some fresh air & a little sunlight with your friend. Mary, I think we were close to single digits in the morning then, too, but we go up & down. Will be almost 50 next week, although looks like we may get a foot & a half of snow tomorrow — at least it’s going to be the light, fluffy stuff. Looks like everyone South of us is going to be unusually cold, though, all the way to Florida only being in the 30′s. So look out, Nancy!

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says:Beautiful POD, Nancy! Glad to hear that Teddy is still around. Our temps go up and down from 20 above to minus 25. Ain’t winter grand? NO!

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says:My apologies, Nancy. This is still a wonderful pick.

Granny Nancy says:Thanks ya’ll!!! Yesterday was very cold and today is as well with rain changing to snow during the night. But I think I heard that the sun might come out in the afternoon tomorrow. Hope so!

dolllady aka Pam says:Congrats on your refreshing sunny day POD, Nancy. We are having a warming trend. By Wednesday we are expecting 90°. I am still using heat today. Thursday will be 80° with a cold front moving through and a high on Friday of maybe 50° if we are lucky. no wonder the number requesting Covid tests are still so high. Some are cold while too many are still Covid.

Kathryn R says:Nancy, I’m so sorry I missed this pick to put in favorites; but so glad it is POD! So lovely! This pick is a perfect description of a January Thaw that we used to enjoy growing up in Iowa. Up here in the Frozen Tundra we haven’t had one til today – in February. Our heat wave will climb to 40 degrees! Then, tomorrow we finally get a decent amount of snow, then the sub zero temps.
….so over winter.
