Another World

It's hard to believe that Wisconsin is a winter wonderland when the shrub in my back yard is blooming and the hummingbirds are still coming. Granted, it has been unseasonably cold here (we've been getting frost in the mornings and there is snow in the mountains where Erik drives for work), but it's still hard to imagine. One nice thing about our current chilly spell is that it has been "too cold" for fog--usually around this time of the year we can have some pretty nasty fog.

We have-wonder of wonders-been getting RAIN! Twice this week! I've always loved rain, but only a midwesterner transplanted into a desert like Bakersfield can fully appreciate how excited this makes me!

Noelle & Andy are coming for a visit this weekend. :-D
Hope everyone is staying safe and warm,

Lovely - and, I can't believe that it's that warm anywhere in the world. Your mother and I just returned from a Christmas party - we're exhausted from laughing. Love you! k
