Frozen!!

It's been cold for a week or so... not much snow, but subzero temperatures. We have probably seen more sunshine this week than all of January leading up to this super cold weather. The trees in the pastel morning light from our kitchen window sure looked inviting and warm... but it was only -9 °F.

Naturally our potted basil plants on the window sill is not too happy about winter, either. And even more traumatized every time I snip off some leaves for cooking. Today we had a pizza night to eat up leftovers, which turned out to be quite a nice spread.
