Weather Report

This morning I read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats to the Kinders, but before I began, we needed to clarify what season it is.  Usually we have snow on the mountains at this time of year, but not now.  It's been unusually warm (after having a chilly December) and sunny.

My garden is in winter swing with snap peas and lettuce doing well, and surprisingly, we still have green peppers.  Peppers usually thrive in summer heat, but they made it through December and still give us a few a week.

I'm back to riding my bike to school on Thursdays, too.

My 4 year old keeps asking, "but when will it really be winter with snow?" Hopefully later in the season I can take her up to Baldy or somewhere and play in some actual snow to convince her it's really winter.
