Our winter has been very mild too. We had a long spell in Jan. that was dry, sunny and quite warm. It got to 70 one day. Unheard of for Jan. around here. The rain is back but it's not constant, we're still fairly warm and we're getting lots of sun breaks for this time of the year.
I generally leave my fall clean up for spring so the dead foliage can protect my plants. I've been able to get out on dry days and start the clean up early this year.
Being able to get out has helped to lift my spirits and energize me. Staying indoors all the time was zapping both.
