Magpie and Muttonfly

It may seem frigid here in Idaho, but we’ve got nothin’ on Sweden.  Apparently the whole country is basically one large icicle.  Last Saturday, for instance, it was -18 degrees F in Örebro.  MINUS EIGHTEEN!   So wrong.  So very, very wrong. 

Since my brother and his family walk most everywhere, it was time to Nordic-up.  I knew my brother found a fur cap; I didn’t know they found a matching cap for Little Man … until I found this in my inbox:

How can there be a no-good-truly-bad day, as long as this photo is nearby?  Yeah, I can’t imagine either …
