The wind picked up today and the snow was drifting. It felt colder as the wind attacked naked skin. And what fun activity can you do with wind? Flying kites, of course. Lou and Mike and Zoe went out to fly a couple of larger kites. I thought for sure they would be picked up and fly through the air. I guess some of that actually did happen when I wasn’t watching!

    At the same time, there was a beautiful sun dog. Sun dogs are created by the refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus clouds. It was a beautiful scene and the pictures won’t do it justice as the rainbow of colors didn’t come through very well. See if you can spot the kites being flown.
