Beautiful Thing: A Springlike Day in the Middle of Winter
It’s a breath of fresh air- literally –when you get an unexpected warm day in the middle of winter. That happened to us yesterday, in the northeast.
The temps went into the 50’s in my area—hardly a heatwave, but it was warm enough to melt most of the snow and allow the kids to play outside and ride their bikes. I still wore a winter coat, but it was my lighter quilted one, not my parka. That brief warm up is enough to lift my spirits and remind me that spring is just around the corner. And now today we’ll only be getting into the low 30’s, but I sure enjoyed yesterday and I’m thrilled to know that there will be many more days like that coming up soon.
