We actually live south of the Mason-Dixon line and are kind of schizophrenic about whether we're "north" or "south". Our weather reflects that. Two days ago it was 69 degrees; today the wind is wicked and cold, snow forecast tonight. I am fortunate that our winters are much shorter than yours, Judy; I grew up in your neck of the woods. In a month or so, we should be past the worst of it. Hangin' on here ... and drinking lots of tea ... that helps me find something lovely in each cold day.Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-81845550536779465792013-01-31T09:13:29.801-08:002013-01-31T09:13:29.801-08:00Great post and timely reminder not to wish our tim...Great post and timely reminder not to wish our time away.

So happy you are still enjoying that soup recipe and hopefully it's keeping you and yours a little bit warmer.terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-81932043152700655222013-01-31T06:45:17.564-08:002013-01-31T06:45:17.564-08:00I'm chuckling, that countdown reminds of the o...I'm chuckling, that countdown reminds of the one my daughter does til football season next year! :)<br /><br />My list would certainly be different, since I don't get any snow...hmmm....sunrises by the beach, the occasional flip flop days, wearing a sweatshirt one day and the next just a t-shirt, scarf - what's that, but I do have fingerless gloves (yes sometimes the sunrise is chilly), lots and lots of coastal birds this time of year, and....I don't have to worry about hurricane season! I'm hoping we have a nice spring like we did last year, it lasted for more than just a couple of weeks before turning into summer in March, hehe!
