It's January for goodness sakes and this is the second day in a row of the temps. being in the 70's. January used to be the coldest month of our winter season. It's got me thinking of spring. Taking walks through my garden and places like the Missouri Botanical Garden with all the newness of spring isn't that far off. Yesterday and today the smell of spring is in the air......and it is winter. Go figure. And no, it doesn't look like this around here right now but it won't be long until it does.

I know that it doesn't get nearly as cold down where I'm at, but still it's January and I have my AC on! That's just weird!
Enjoy while it lasts.

Hi Kent,
These pictures are great.....it just makes it harder living in the southwest ha ha! the summer's here are crazy hot and long!

Rick, it was a bit humid here yesterday to where turning on the air wasn't completely out of the question....but with the windy conditions there was a nice breeze flowing through the house with the windows open. Sleeping with the windows open wide in Jan. is strange.
Todd, two of the pictures are from my garden and two are from the MBG. The awakening that takes place in the spring just does something to me. It never fails to astound me and leave me in awe.
Great shots
Kent, for a dose of reality, you should've been with us the past few days. We traveled as a family to the capitol city, a 600-mile overnight train ride from where we live. As we stepped off the train, the mercury hovered at -22F, but with the windchill, is was more than -40F! As we spent the next four days with friends exploring their city and it's winter-time "delights", we saw things gradually thaw to only zero degrees!
Arrived back home this morning to a balmy 10 degrees F... awww! to finally get out of the longjohns!

Bones, that is cold. I've been in that kind of cold before and it makes everything you do much more difficult. By the end of the week here it is suppose to feel more like winter again, only for me to head to California to see Wayne and Sara next week.
I actually enjoy winter and I think the transformation that takes place from a fresh snow fall is just awesome.
Thanks for dropping a comment, it always good to hear from you.
