45. I think that silly groundhog is mistaken. We are having a mini thaw this week.

Feb 2014

I looked around outside this morning none of the bulbs are coming up yet.

Friday was pleasant when I did my monthly BJ's shopping trip. Last night wasn't bad, only down to 28°. The high today will be 39°. Mebbe, I'll actually go out for a short walk before my hips totally forget how to move.

BTW ... How do you keep an ice cream cone from melting all over that pretty basket?
