Move along January

We've gotten off rather lightly with both snow amounts and temperatures so far this winter. I am willing January and the rest of winter to pass quite quickly so we can get to spring and better weather. There is a very cooped up feeling in NH in the winter. Sure we can spend time outside with snow sports, nature walks and such, it's just not very pleasant time once you start to feel chilled! The recent snowstorm, a big one, stayed south of us and here we are towards the end of January with just a few inches of snow. It has been very cold for several days though and I have one frozen plumbing pipe(hot water to kitchen sink). Thankfully it's supposed to warm up some in the week to come and that should resolve.  So not much snow, not as many very cold days as usual and not as many frozen pipes as usual, I'll take it but I do want winter to move along because while it's still here anything could happen.

This week we had co-op, snowboarding, taekwondo and a trip to the nursing home to take mom out for her birthday. The wild turkeys paid us a few visits, Choco the old ferret considered doing evil towards Lily the hamster and the dogs and cats are in and out and in and out, wanting to enjoy the outdoors but quickly deciding that they are cold and coming back in the house again.

Not much snow so far this winter.

Ineffective sunshine.

Small sign of spring, well not really this is indoors!
