Mood: not sure
Topic: Springtime in January
Unbelievable... temps in the 50s, sunshine that makes you want to BURST!! And I had to be cooped up inside a newspaper office all day.
A January thaw really isn't that unusual. But we had warm temperatures and RAIN just a couple of weeks ago, when Calif. was getting clobbered with snow and there was even snow in Hawaii. Go figure.
Spring Fever is about to hit our valley. I just hope the fruit trees don't catch it. Those daring apricot trees are always anxious to be the first to bud... and then the FROST comes and hits them hard.
I'm hungry for apricots this year, but I'm willing to WAIT!!!
Oh well, I'll enjoy the mild temps while we've got them, and the lovely blue skies... maybe there will be enough snow on Stevens Gulch this weekend to get out the cross-country skis for a jaunt.
