Not being from this part of the world, I have no idea of what a February sky in New Jersey is normally like .
The skies have been quite cloudy especially at sunrise so I was lucky to capture this shot .
And later on the whole sky turned into a gorgeous red gold .
But this is what the sky has been for the most part , overcast and grey.
I do hope the skies in your part of the world are blue and sunny.

Snow on bare branches has an ethereal feel.
While snow on a evergreen looks gorgeous too!

Dining in the Princeton area can be a delight as there are many quaint upscale restaurants around . Daughter No 1 who is as fond of good food as I am found the award winning Brick Farm Tavern which serves modern American cuisine made from local produce . Ever since she made this discovery she has been dying to introduce me to the place . But we weren’t really interested in the whole fine dining experience and preferred to sample a light meal of soup and sandwiches instead at the equally popular cafe further down the road in Hopewell. NJ
There was snow on the ground still and I was glad to get inside the cozy warmth of the cafe which had a simple no-nonsense air about it . With long tables occupying the central space , the cafe had counters alongside selling fresh local produce like lettuce with roots and squash.
There were shelves selling healthy organic snack foods , exotic teas and ice creams and counters where you could order your meal options from .
And on the mezzanine was a delicatessen selling cheeses and meats from around the world.
The cafe also makes its own cheese .
A friend of Daughter No 1 was joining us with her daughter so we ordered a cappuccino and a chive scone while we waited 
Scones seemed to be very popular as this was the last one standing !
