A great site if you are interested in old postcards from Western Canada can be found here.

A cold front from western Canada has frozen Texas, and I know who is responsible. It is currently brr and will not get above freezing today. Winter really sucks.

I am going to start garden planning/costing over the next few days. I have some seeds (a Christmas gift)that I will need to plant once the weather warms up (who knows how long that will be?). I am really looking forward to tasting some home grown heirloom tomatoes.

I have applied for a graduate assistantship at unt's library, and I am waiting to see if I get an interview. There is one job posted that would be perfect for me. Classes do not start back up until the 19th, so I shall be busy again in a few weeks. Two of the classes are offered online, the third is an in person class that I will go to every Monday night. I am hoping it will be warm enough next week so I can make a trip into Fort Worth and visit the botanical gardens. I would love to see some flowers blooming, even if they are few and far between. I am also hoping our pansies will survive the bitter cold we are currently suffering.

One nice thing about the cold weather is that it offers opportunities for firing up the fireplace. I also enjoy the gas starter, I don't have to find a can of diesel to use as starter fluid.
