MIld Winter Continues

Wisconsin winters are usually snowy and cold but not this year.  I've only had the blower out three times; still haven't used the roof rake. 

I don't hate winter like some Wisconsinites, but it's nice to have an unusually warm and largely snow-free season now and then.

Even better is on the horizon.

Sunday morning when I went for the paper before dawn, I was happy to see Cygnus the Swan rising in the east. 

Spring and summer are coming!  Pretty soon I'll be mowing the lawn again...
