It's beautiful outside. Cold but beautiful. Apparently it snowed some last night and the snow settled on the ice already on the trees. With the sun shining the trees look like they are covered in white lace. I'd include a picture here but my camera is packed and I'm not unpacking it.
Day after tomorrow my daughter and I will be on our way to warmer climes via cruise ship. Perhaps the warmth and sun will lighten my mood. For whatever reason, I get somewhat depressed at the end of January and during the month of February (I call it Febru-ugly). Getting away from here for a while helps since when I get back I have the feeling that Spring is just around the corner. Just how far away that corner is is a guess (I've seen it snow here in April), but it's there.
Looking forward to warmth and sunshine......
