Winter Wonderland – where would the path lead you?

#We are the Champions!!

That moment where going home from work, you become an involuntary participant in the winter Olympics. . . . Ice Slip & Slide Gold Champion – that’s me! * This is why Changchun is home to China’s Olympic Ice Skating team. . .

It’s Freezing (literally)

When temperatures hit -32C (about -25F), the inside of my pantry window turns into #art!

No, but seriously, I have about an inch of #ice INSIDE my window. My refrigerator pantry turned into a walk-in freezer. All my #fruit froze πŸ˜­β„οΈ

#Smoking Snowman

Apparently the delivery guys at #KFC were feeling cold yesterday. ⛄️❄️  Temps are getting towards -23C

Not sure how much help he’s gonna be today. . . . . 😜

I love that he’s still got his #cigarette πŸ˜‚  

Door Warmers

#Changchun (my home city in #China ) just started putting up these red ‘door’ warmers for the winter.  Supposedly, it’s so that our hands don’t freeze to the door handle. πŸ˜±β„  If your doors need anti-freeze mechanisms, It’s time to just give up, bury yourself in a blankie, and hibernate until Spring comes next JULY! (**Apparently, I moved to the frozen tundra 😭)  
To be fair. . . . We’ve been wearing heavy winter coats, hats, Thermal gloves, scarves, and breathing smoke signals since mid-October

Winter Robins

The Robins came too early this year, so they are feeding off the berry trees.

Bright Orange Train

TrainI know it’s a little blurry, but I loved the brightness of this oncoming BNSF train against the harsher browns of the winter landscape. Β It was a happy contrast!
