I know it’s still January.
Thanks for that Facebook reminder, Bernadette. ~grin~ I think that made today all the
sweeter, in part because I didn’t have to think about mowing the grass.

| Not a Sight Seen Today, But I Know Goldfinches Await in the Fields Dressed in their Drab Winter Garb Yet Still Adored |
With temperatures nearing
sixty degrees F today, I got to enjoy my back patio for the first time in months. The
sun came out, cardinals were singing, squirrels raced across the neighbors
field. I even found a friendly visitor in the little cat that likes to wander
through (I’m ninety nine percent certain the healthy looking tortie has a good
home).
Of course it didn’t last. Clouds overtook the sun and winds kicked up. Still, I wrote almost an entire chapter of my latest WIP before the chill chased me indoors. That makes me very happy.
How are things where you
live?
Oooh, sixties. That's about where we were today. I think the high was 66. We just came off a couple days of rain.
ReplyDeleteI won't tell you what we're forecasted to have tomorrow. Let's just say it's going to be a bit warmer...
I reserve no sense of jealousy. ~grin~ Temps in the forties or fifties might keep me writing indoors but I'm happy with that. Be well!
DeleteThat does sound like a nice day. We had 37 degrees which felt like a heat wave compared to last week. I would snatch that tortie up -finders keepers :)
ReplyDeleteIt was nice out there! Glad you're feeling some warmer temps. I would be tempted to grab that cat. She doesn't want me to pick her up, though, so I take that as a 'no'... But we almost touched noses, which is dangerous territory according to my spouse.
DeleteMild here, not patio weather though, but been in the 50's, rain, lots of rain, but the mountains have not received enough snow, so the worries begin in Oregon, over the spring and summer water situation. Long days of winter still ahead though, could come, that needed mountain snow.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. I never imagine Oregon having a water shortage ~hugs~ Best wishes.
DeleteLily got to enjoy the deck yesterday and I went out calling her a bit ago so she could have lunch and she was curled up on the glider looking all sleepy! She LOVES these temps.
ReplyDeleteAwwww... I can just picture this.
