So far winter has been negligible, with the worst snow coming October 31, as we were flying home from Pittsburgh; the worst flight we had ever been on...and then this past weekend, Saturday, January 20, we had 5-6". But that's it.
And today it was 52degrees or so in the shade on the deck, and I discovered snowdrops in bud in the backyard, in the damp, shady space between the firethorn and the fence. It is amazing! Blazingly sunny, and blue skies. We have also had an occasional robin or two in the backyard, and hopping on the banister, for the past 10 days....hmmm.
