The last few years have been fairly mild during January and February, then the cold and snow return. Although we have always been subject to the late March/early April snow storm, those are more aberrant. In recent years, however, we've had enough late snow and cold weather to make it feel like we are living in northern rather than southern New England. That being said, I can already see the days starting to get longer. That's the best indicator that spring is coming soon, so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Coats, hats, gloves and even snow? So envious! Unfortunately, it's 70 degrees here in Atlanta now with the high expected to be 73 today. Hope y'all appreciate your cold weather. Our "cold" season comes and goes in the blink of an eye, more's the pity. Sigh. . . .
Whenever I see these wonderful photos of black-faced sheep among boulders, I can't help but think of the opening line of Donald Hall's poem: 'Ruminant pillows! Gregarious soft boulders!'
