Middle January
Today, January 25, the wind is brisk, sunny and filled with chill. A couple of weeks ago it was downright bitter, a couple of days ago short sleeve warm, and today... feeling just right for January. Last year at this time we seemed to be atypically warm, which was just wonderful till things stared blooming early only to be clobbered in a refreeze. And even thought the wind is cold, recent rains have primed the pump as our earth prepares for song.
