As much of the rest of the country preps for the huge storm, we are basking in the sunshine. It is winter, so it’s cold, only low 40s, but sunny.
So we walked, again.
I also noticed a sign in a front yard I hadn’t seen before, although it has probably been there for 20 years. In my defense this area is on a steep hill and we’re usually going uphill on this stretch. But today was downhill and I spent more time looking around instead of at my feet.
Our first crocuses.
The basement work for today included building the last of the shelving units we bought. Moving some things onto said shelves. The things today were mostly emergency supplies. Food, fire starters, stove, etc. And finally cleaning a mat that is going to the giveaway pile. It wasn’t too dirty, just surface dirt.
All for today, until tomorrow’s sun shines again.

Your crocuses are already up? I’ll have to watch for mine. I’m loving this weather; it’s perfect for walking!

Neighborhood crocuses, not ours, but we do have daffodils poking out their leaves and maybe even a tulip. It’s been easy to convince myself to go for walks, but I would be happy if it was a few degrees warmer. Not complaining though.

“Only low 40s” try 5

We have been spoiled. But it will only be 28 degrees in the morning. I might have to scrape the car if we decide to do something other than walk.
