Mid-Winter Reprieve

I know it's too early to think about spring, no matter what the shopping malls show us...


















But last week was milder (10 degrees Celsius or 50 degrees Fahrenheit). Warm air and puddles made me wonder if spring had arrived!














The ice-packed road in front of our house started to melt...














(Hmmm... Groundhog Day in Ottawa indicated the end of winter, though in Pennsylvania, several hundred miles to our south, the sign - sunny weather - indicated the opposite... Was our Groundhog right?! Was winter really over?!!)














Eventually the road did clear... Amazing! Now I can go walking again!


















Today we're back to cool weather [sigh], but the road is still clear. I won't have walk indoors - where shopping temptations abound!
