Just a few days ago...

I found what I consider to be a neat piece of stained glass, perfect for my northern exposure BR window of my condo (only ugly blinds allowed as per the association). The piece has plenty of clear glass as well.
We had a funky January--more weatherishly like the month of March, perhaps. Damp and
gray but no teeth-knashing cold.
Now we've hit late mid-February and it feels really cold--though in truth it's almost normal 

(February in Chicago blows--literally).  :D
