Our days are already beginning to lengthen noticeably so the long nights will soon give way to long days when there's so many chores to be done outside. Hopefully February will be kind this year. Take care and stay warm!

We get a lot of snow and it is wonderful to see along the lakeshore but it's a 40min drive and I don't like driving in the snow/ice so I have to rely on husband at weekends.
