Just a Day in the Park . . . in January

If you haven't spent the last few decades in Minnesota, you wouldn't understand the significance of the following, "54 degrees on January 5th."

Axel and I knew the magnitude of yesterdays forecast and immediately took to the parks.  Because our favorite playground is closed due to the inclement weather of our typical winters, we parked outside the chains and high-tailed it inside for a private winter oasis.

The sky was a lovely shade of spring, the faux-grass was evergreen, and our jackets were unzipped.  What a ball we had!

Will we pay for this untimely weather, say in a few months?  Will April snow-showers delay May flowers?  Who knows.  For now we'll air out the house mid-winter and keep our fingers crossed for more of the same.

While the rest of the week is predicted to bring similar meteorological beauty, we may just be sneaking into a park near you!

Happy winter.
