Thanks for...A bit of a warm up

It's been bitter cold here this week and those who know me well know I love winter. I love the snow, I like to ski, I HATE the heat. But this week between the actual air temperatures and the wind it was really bitter cold and gray. No pretty white stuff to make the streets and trees glisten. It was just cold. Today it started out a bit on the rainy side but that means it was finally above freezing! Now it's a pleasant 50 degrees out and the sun is shining a little bit. I'm thankful for that.
