Winter seems to be here. It appears and disappears from day to day, but came in spades this week. We had one day when it got down to 15 degrees overnight and only made it to 33 during the day. Now we are back up into the mid to high 50s and on Monday are expecting the 60s again. But even when it is very cold, it seems to be achingly beautiful here. Days of brilliant sun and blue skies seem to be our norm. I know the statistics are that we get more than 300 days of sun per year but it is the winter ones that I seem to like the best. They are just so blindingly perfect.
