60 Degrees in January

This winter has been unseasonably warm and I'm not so sure I should be grateful for that. However, we did get a fine blast of winter last weekend in the form of a blizzard that dumped a bunch of snow on nearly the entire eastern coast. So, today's blast of warm air did a lot to melt that snow and the sunshine was delicious.

Sunny Days

Today dawned clear and cold. I saw Venus rising in the east, but none of the other planets I saw earlier this week. The snow was pristine and crunchy. The dogs loved it. As the day wore on, there was plenty of sunshine and brilliant blue skies. A truly lovely day to finish the snow cleanup. 

Sunshine!

This morning, I awoke at 6:10AM and decided to close my eyes for a bit more sleep. I woke again at 7:50 with the sun streaming into my bedroom windows. Sunshine! It has been quite cloudy and rainy for the past week here. While the bleak weather encouraged me to stay indoors and tackle some serious organizing chores, it was very nice to see the sun.

It turned out to be short-lived as clouds moved in within the hour. Still, grateful for it.
