Spring in Winter Day 1,397

Wow, middle of January, Northern Wisconsin & temps are in the 40's.  Everything is melting; but it is only for a day or two then the chilly temps will return.

A beautiful Spring day in the middle of Winter. It is nice to see & feel the warmth that is surrounding the Northwoodz on this mid-January day. Not breaking any records though. Last year we were even warmer; but still a beautiful warm day & enjoying it immensely. Loving the break from the extreme cold & though not looking forward to its return, I know it is a necessary cycle of life. It's okay & we will hunker back down & knit some more when it returns. Till then breaking out the grille & having a barbequed treat for dinner. 

Maybe a nice walk with your hubby or a friend.  My hubby is off sharing apple turnovers with a friend of his.  He recently remarried, it was two years ago this week he lost his wife of many years to a long battle of cancer & he just had a bout of the flu.  I figured he could use some warm turnovers & some time with my sweetie.  I needed to wait on the UPS fellow anyway, he has a package that needs a signature.  Sometimes guys just need time alone to chatter too, my guy is a social butterfly & it does him good to have time alone with his guy friends.  I know his friend's new bride will find something to do & let them have this time, so won't be a problem for her either.  I have some knitting to catch up on, too cold to do it outside yet; but have been scraping some ice that gathered on the deck.  Good days to get rid of that too.  

Yup, always nice to have a touch of Spring in the middle of a long Winter stretch.  Enjoying it a great deal.  How about you???

Enjoy the warmth, for winter returns in a couple days. If you are one who ventures onto the lakes to fish, remember the ice is not as thick either; so use caution. ♥
