This week definitely qualifies as our “January thaw.” Temps in the high 30’s, low 40’s with brilliant sunshine have melted most of the snow. I worked outside today savoring the warmth of the sun, listening to the birdies, and generally enjoying Mother Nature. The Cabaret grass was starting to disperse its broken blades hither and thither so I cut that back and found a few more things to take care of that got missed in the Fall cleanup. It was good to breathe the fresh air and get some of the cobwebs out of the brain. The picture above shows the evening sky here tonight with a promise of another pretty day tomorrow.
Meanwhile, relatives down in Flagstaff AZ are experiencing some real winter weather. This picture was taken Thursday before it started raining, followed by a possible 2-4 feet more of snow. They are celebrating with a “snow-pocalypse” party!
Then, family in California are deluged by rain with mudslides and mandatory evacuations in their area, and my sister in Texas has had record low temps with frost damage to her plants. Seems like Mother Nature is not happy elsewhere in the country!
What is going on in your neck of the woods?
