good start to New Year here too - partly cloudy now, high 43, showers this afternoon. Ronnie, you remind me of a next door neighbor I miss very much. Driving by on summer evenings after sunset, we would see her and her dh on lounge chairs watching tv out front, with blooming awns of grass rising slightly above themselves. I miss those two and their house and their casual, free-spirit approach to life very much. A white lilac bloomed against the front of their house, too, reaching the second floor. It was like being inside a painting from another long ago painting.
Hi Ronnie and to folks on this thread - I hope my joining in will be okay - my 'weather reports' can get windy.
