I'm here, but I'm staying silent because I don't want to make all of you cry. The temperature here today was 74 degrees. I've been working in the garden all day every day for the last week and a half. I wear a jacket over my dress out of habit, but as soon as I start working, I get so hot that I have to take the jacket off. It's positively glorious here this January! It's hard to believe that winter probably will come back any day now. I hope it doesn't, but this is just too good to be true. The temperature projections for the coming week are lower, but still not too bad -- in the high 60s.
