Things I’ve noticed:
- Practically the whole block is disposing of their Christmas Trees this week. We might hang on to ours a while longer, as it is still feeling wet and the Christmas season isn’t over until a week from Sunday.
- This is the first week where temperatures have really dipped into the teens… so far this has been a relatively weak winter. Even today, it’s getting above freezing and is supposed to get warmer as the week goes on. Snowfall has been frequent, if minimal.
- On the other hand, it’s been less cloudy than I expected. Lot’s of sunshine during the day, which is nice given the long nights.
- Mary and I saw a sparrow chirping happily from the rungs of a shopping cart under the awning at Meijers.
