There will be pictures with the next post. This voice in my head keeps saying "this is wrong."<br /><br />Catherine- I always thought the usual pattern in the winter is that it is cold when there is sun and warm when cloudy. Not this year. It was sunny and 60 degrees each of the last two days. <br /><br />Judith- I will not be able to top that description. Can you work a baby reference into any sentence at this point?

They do that throughout the evening. They do that every night, only just further along across their path.philip Mearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384629201161240341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36509434911388799.post-23502232749881468562012-01-30T01:43:44.446-06:002012-01-30T01:43:44.446-06:00Thank you for the snowdrop photos as well as the d...Thank you for the snowdrop photos as well as the daffodil series!

She is in the far eastern sky in the early morning. In the evening, Jupiter is the big "star" in the east.
