Over 32 Degrees

Finally the afternoon temperature rose above freezing... not a lot above freezing but the thermometer made the transition.  It has been 22 straight days below freezing.  Luckily January has not turned out to be its normal freezing month.  Well, yea, I guess it has been freezing but in years past it has been more freezing than this January.  Got that?

Unbelievable as it may seem we spotted a tree today that has buds swelling.  It was a willow tree.  I was amazed as I thought everything was still frozen solid even with a temperature above freezing but below 40.  Guess I need to get my thinker tuned up.. maybe it froze!

Looking ahead; it actually won't be that long before we start to experience the ever onward march of the seasons and winter begins to give way and then spring will be in the air.  I'm ready.
