GOOD BYE JANUARY--
And Good Riddance

A recent weather summary for January revealed Mansfield enjoyed temperatures above freezing for just 24 hours in the entire month. Already February is looking promising as in the above photo where Sunday's warming sun starts to reduce the snow load on a campfire woodpile.

Soon, February will use its status as our shortest month to hurry along toward March where winds will prompt a boy's kite flying fancy.

In the smaller photo (right) Max and I return from an early morning hike Sunday in temperatures that soon moderated into the 40s. Ahhhh. A larger version of the small picture appears on my Facebook page. To take a peek at that, click on the link upper right.
