The First of the Year!!!!
The gardening catalogues have arrived and with this weather it would be easy to fool yourself into thinking spring is just around the corner. The temperatures this week are warm and the breezes balmy - Teddy has walked around the lake at least 2 times a week - with us in tow, of course. The grass is even green.
And isn't this how it always is? A little disquieting when its so perfect.
The clerk at Trader Joe's commented that personally, he's sure its JUST NOT RIGHT. When I assured him that this is Iowa - and so not that unusual , he just sighed and said, "SURE".
So, we'll have to see what comes in the next week or so. I'm betting there will be winter yet - I just hope its short.
