50 degrees.....

What a gorgeous day here in the Northland. The temperature is 50.7 degrees above zero - hard to believe I know. It hasn't been this warm since November, almost four months! The winter has been very long, and the snow piles are still high in spite of the warm temperatures (40+ degrees) all week long. The sidewalks are bare now for the first time since the snows came in December. The birds are singing their hearts out. Every window in our house is open, letting in all that fresh wonderful air. The old stagnant air from all winter has left the house. The sun is out. Kacie is wearing SHORTS. Yes, shorts, I know we are crazy in Minnesota, but that is how warm it feels to us after this long winter. Funny isn't it how 50 degrees in September would have felt sooo cold, and in March it feels almost tropical. Crazy and wonderful. It's a good day :)
