Warmish January

It hasn't really felt like winter much lately. About once a week we'll get a shot of cooler air, but then the mercury creeps back up into the 70s. I've spent more time in my cropped jeans than boot cut ones since Christmas. Thanks to the warmer temps, leaves have been falling off the oak trees in our yard like they usually do in March. And now the paperwhites along our drive have started blooming.

I don't mind skipping the Arctic fronts and icy roads this year. I'm just sad I'm not getting any more mileage out of my sweaters and scarves. We may be back in shorts and flip flops a bit earlier than usual in 2020!
