Day 123: Until recently, temperatures haven't been low enough for me to have any success at making frozen bubbles, but when I got up yesterday morning, it was 17. As soon as there was enough light, I took my little jar of bubble solution outside to play. Most of the bubbles burst as soon as they touched the snow, although a couple of large ones seemed like they might survive. A light breeze collapsed several more before they were completely frozen, and rather than shattering like ice and retaining sharp edges, they went down like deflating balloons. Twenty minutes later, only three or four remained, including this big one. After photographing it, I gave it a delicate poke. Apparently I still don't have the sugar/water/dish soap formula quite right because it had not hardened fully and subsided into an angular mound of semi-ice. By then, I was too cold to make another attempt.
