Damn it is cold outside! This stem caught my attention because it reminded me of the Sydney Opera House. And it is summer in Sydney. And that thought warmed me up for bit, remembering that it is summer somewhere. The days are getting longer now. But the temps always lag by about a month. Soon, though, the added daylight will start the rewarming process. I am ready for it.
