Aging Beauty

I might identify with this tulip more than I'd like to but beauty is in the eye of the beholder right?  

Frigidly cold today as promised.  A couple more days and it will moderate a bit, but 3 degrees when I woke this morning and tomorrow promises to be colder and there is that wind.  Too cold to snow though and clear blue skies.  There's always a positive.  

Many thanks to Bikerbear for hosting and hosting and hosting Flower Friday.  

Happy Weekend to all.

Oh in Extra is the Piscataquog River which runs through and you've probably seen before, not frozen over yet.
