The view is pretty sweet Smiling No, not closer to Reykjavík - still in the same town and closer to the town center, so it's actually slightly further away .... by about 5-10 min. Big Grin

We had a dusting of snow overnight. Fortunatly it did not amount to much. It is sunny out all day but still cold. I think it was a high of about 22 or so this afternoon.

Wow! I would kill for 80 degrees right now. I have no wish whatsoever to go outside when it's cold, but I really should start working out there before the bees and wasps are back in full force.

Well it actually only made it to 79. It does feel like spring, but I think it is wishful thinking - there's still February to go.

We had that kind of weather last year, so everyone was talking about "Junuary." Later, in June, the weather was colder than usual, so that month was called "Junuary" too. Big Grin

Yes, I hate cold weather, I hate snow. I hate to go outside in the winter. I try to just ignore winter and stay inside as much as possible. Hilarious!

wow... y'all live in the wrong part of the country to hate cold & snow... LOLLL move to FL where all the other NYers go! Me personally, I love snow. I don't care for the cold, but now it hurts my sciatica so bad, so I'm trying avoid being in the cold a lot, but it doesn't bother me in the least. And right now, I'd take a couple of feet of snow 'cuz of the lack of moisture we've had here! It's horrible! But 60degs & sunny today, snow tomorrow.. only if I'm lucky!

It was 72 here today. We spent the day mulching and taking out dead trees. We need rain so desperately! A neighbor of mine had a tree crew come out today and they removed almost all of her huge mature trees. So sad. My poor roses are leafing out already. The winter jasmine is blooming, and daffodils are peeking out. Kinda bad when it feels like spring and I haven't even finished the fall chores. I still have daffodil and tulip bulbs to plant. I broke a few bones in my foot and wasn't able to do everything I needed to do in the fall, and now we're consumed with our remodeling.
It was kind of nice to take a break from construction to work outside, though. The National Weather service says we have a chance of rain tonight...most likely in the form of hail, but at this point, any moisture is welcome.
Hail, fog, snow, rain, I'll take anything I can get! Rolling my eyes.
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

Wow, Around here you can not remove healthy trees. And if you break the law there is a $2,000.00 fine.
