Winter is Over

Winter is Over

I have used up my hot cocoa mix. Thus my conclusion; winter is over. That’s how it was last year. 😉 In fact the seven day forecast does say the temps will be going up. What do you believe? Groundhog Day is just a few weeks away. So Phil has only gotten it right 40%…

On Wednesday folks were starting to get outside again! So I guess they had been cooped up long enough.

Certainly warmer today,…
