Sunny skies

The past few mornings have been clear and the days have been mostly sunny and bright. It really lifts the spirits. Even though our morning temperatures are around freezing, the days are warming up nicely, tempting us with thoughts of spring.

White puffy clouds drifted across Sunday afternoon's sky.

I'm itching to get outside and start working on the spring cleanup, but it's still a little too chilly and a little too early. March (which starts next week!) and April will be the time to get started. First up: pruning roses and grape vines.
