The sun's rays are gaining strength again in these northern climes! That means Elsa and I look for chances to take our knitting outdoors.
The first outings of the year include many layers of wool and down, boots and hats. But at least our faces catch a bit of vitamin D and we can breathe the fresh air.
Even with snow and ice all around, the corners of our south and west facing deck and front porch can heat up... if we stay out of the wind.
The photo at left was taken on January 20th. The temperature may have reached the low 30's that day!
How fun to hear the birds busy at nearby feeders while we knit or just rest outdoors!
By March 14th, we were able to shed some layers and really feel the sun's warmth!
The thermometer climbed to near 40 degrees at this point in the afternoon! But don't be deceived. There was still ice in the shadows at our feet and a big snowbank behind Mom when she took this picture.
