We cut our neighborhood walk short today due to rapidly falling temperatures. When we left the house, it was about 39 degrees. Approximately ten minutes later, it was 28 degrees. At least, that’s what Zippy’s phone said when he checked it. As for me, I couldn’t see much of anything because my cold nose was buried in my neck gator which then caused my glasses to steam up. All this to say, I’m craving warmer weather right now and making due with looking at summer hiking photos.
Here’s some flora and fauna from a Square Top Lakes hike:

Ahh, I can practically feel that sunshine on my shoulders.

Mid 30s here today! Felt like a spring day.

I’m such a delicate flower. 🙂 Part of it was the shock of going from 57 degrees on Sunday to rapidly dropping temps. Actually, I could handle cold temps better if I didn’t wear glasses. If my face is warm, I’m good. But in order to have a warm face, my glasses steam and then I’m pretty much blind. Today’s a balmy 6 degrees.

Temps are plunging here, too for the next few days after 67 degrees on Sunday.

Oof, that’s even more a jump than we had. Sunday was 57 degrees and today is 6. Quite a shock to our systems. 😦

and I like how pictures can help you patently wait for the change of seasons – and having xmas lights up still sounds like a very good idea!

Yeah, that temp drop felt weird and a bit unsettling. Amen to lights up in cold, cold February! 🙂
