A wintry scene

 

It's not nearly as cold outside as it looks. In fact, temperatures are staying above freezing for the next several days. The Valley has a yucky wintry mix this morning, followed by just rain later. As it turned out, yesterday was an excellent window for driving, with dry roads and light traffic.

Those are turkey tracks in our slushy driveway. This is strange weather for late January, when the snow is usually piled high and it stays way below freezing.

Amanda, Tom and Maya are driving all the way to Quincy today (about 4 hours round trip) for Nova's wresting match. I opted to stay home and putter around the house, maybe take a walk later if the weather isn't too miserable.

I had dinner with them last night which was nice. Nova had already left for Quincy with her wresting team, but Maya was home. She is growing and changing so fast, it's like seeing a new girl each time.

But other things never change, like fat Millie in her winter bed behind the wood stove!
