Spring Moonrise

It was bitter cold for a time in December and January but in the last two weeks we have woken up to light rain, partly cloudy skies, and a beautiful, if far removed, sun. If I believed in them, I might almost consider sacrificing my first born in thanks to the weather gods for this remarkable reprieve. I can throw open the windows in the house for a few minutes and hear the pattering of rain and the calling of birds. The flowers are coming up, confused as to what month it is. I think I'm getting confused too. This should either make for a remarkable end of winter or a disappointing return to more "normal" weather.

    No matter how miserable it is to return to cold weather, I still love a little "false Spring" in the winter.

    Beautiful! I have loved this winter because we've had actual weather. No week-long stints of smothering inversion; just storm after storm after storm. But today the sky is blue and it was 38 degrees and I took off my coat and relished every minute.
