We drove through the country yesterday going to and from a funeral. It was gorgeous weather and the colors of the trees and land were so spectacular. We live in a unique micro climate between two rivers and we see the same temps in winter that you get way up there in ND while most areas north of us are warmer in winter. We both know that what we are experiencing right now could change in a heartbeat so it's great that you too are enjoying it while it lasts. Hope you have a short mild winter this year!
PS...it was 90 here today ;)
