We finally got our January thaw, even if it took until February to get here. Yesterday was a glorious 55 degrees. Everything is very squishy. It's impossible not to track mud into the house, but I'm not going to complain. I keep a towel by the door to wipe the dogs' paws.

Spring fever is catching now I think, and we are ready for winter to be over. I'm afraid we have a ways to go yet, but even though it's supposed to get colder over the next few days, it's not going to be the frigid temps we've had for the past month or more. The end of winter is in sight!
