I woke up to a snow-covered garden. It wasn't snowing anymore, the atmosphere was clean and I could hear the neighbor's children playing in the snow.

#### They seemed to enjoy the snowfall "ceasefire"

###### I made sure to leave them some crumbs on and under the balcony, as it is hard to find any seeds under the snow

###### All this got me excited already! It was time to do it again! I put my boots on and went out with my camera to walk in the snow.

###### Walking and listening to the sound of a bird fluttering, accompanied by the snow falling off the branches was so satisfying!

###### After walking around the house, I went outside the garden to take some shots of the surroundings

#### I was making sure this "dead nature"

#### Would remain dead...

#### But for ever alive in our hearts...
#### and the blockchain 
<sup> *(yeah, lame humor always present)* </sup>

When I came face to face with a quite big stray dog. I tried to remain calm, as I am not sure I can run fast enough in the snow *(I am not sure I can run fast enough to escape any dog whatsoever)*, so I just turned around and headed back home.

#### Where I treated myself to a nice cup of hot cocoa
<sup> *(as a reward for staying alive yet another day)* </sup>

#### And started a series marathon with the Man of the House!
<sup> *(that's his foot there saying "Hello" to you, could you be kind enough and say "Hello, foot" too?)* </sup>

And now if you excuse me, but we have 4 more episodes to finish the ["Mindhunter"](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5290382/) series. It has got us hooked for the last 6 hours. If you're looking for something to watch and you're into police series, then give it a try.


### See you tomorrow!

### Can you spare another minute?

If you're looking for projects to support, you could consider:
1) putting **[@stem.witness](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@steemstem/announcing-a-steemstem-witness-and-seed-node)** on your witness list. And don't forget to check out our cool app, **[steemstem.io](https://www.steemstem.io/)**, a place where awesome STEM content waits for you to discover it!
If you feel like sharing some SP, here are some convenient delegation links for you: [50SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=50%20SP) | [100SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=100%20SP) | [500SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=500%20SP) | [1000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=1000%20SP) | [5000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=5000%20SP) | [10000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=10000%20SP).

2) checking out **@aristotle.team**, an account made by the Greek Utopian Translations team to support Translation contributions. 
If you have some spare beans *(id est SP)*, Aristotle and his team would really appreciate your help! Here are some quick delegation links to make things easier: [10SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=10%20SP) | [20SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=20%20SP) | [50SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=50%20SP) | [100SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=100%20SP) | [200SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=200%20SP) | [500SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=500%20SP) | [1000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=1000%20SP).

Until my next post,
Steem on and keep smiling, people!
