I saw a sliver of blue sky yesterday about noon. It disappeared pretty quickly. But what a lovely little break from the clouds and fog of the rest of the week. We are promised some sunshine, though with very cold temperatures, tomorrow. Hurrah for blue!
I like winter. Just for the record. Call me crazy. (Nuts, wacko, insane.) The only thing I don't like about winter is when it persists well into April. So I do have my winter-lovin' limits, too.
Today is Penguin Awareness Day. I always think of Antarctica when I think of penguins. I think of
March of the Penguins (the movie I had to leave in the middle because my kids were running around the theater like it was Chuck E Cheeses, then later saw at a drive-in theater south of Gibson City where no one cared if the kids were noisy) Not all penguins live in winter-type weather, though. The Galapagos Penguin, for example, is happy on the equator. Cute little guy, isn't he?
Here is another penguin that doesn't need winter weather:
He just needs his pal Chumley
I'm assuming Tennessee and Chumley don't live in Antarctica. I mean, where would they shop for ties and hats if they did?

I will call you wacko, if you will call me quirky.
Ah, the penguins! (Having some trouble in Antarctica these days, alas.)
I saw no blue sky sliver, but I saw a small gorgeous flock of starlings.
You've got yourself a deal Quirky
Oh, no! Now I've got "Tennessee Tuxedo and his friends" playing in my head.
I want Chumley's porkpie hat. And what is a porkpie?
A pork-pie is a meat pie of the sort common in British cuisine. A pork-pie hat is named for its resemblance to a pork pie.
I'm just a fountain of knowledge, aren't I?
I'm pretty sure no one will lick a pork pie off anyone's face...
Do I want to know what that last comment from Kim means? Probably not ...
NO, Susan, you DO NOT want to know what her comment means.
When in actuality (that is a word, isn't it?) I know you well enough that you WILL FIND OUT what that comment means.
I loved Tennessee Tuxedo when I was a kid...well, I still love that show. :) Who was the professor with the magic blackboard? I always loved that portion of the show.
