When we go out to our nature group early on a Thursday morning, it is not unusual for me to be wearing two thermal layers, a shirt, a sweater, a fleece vest, another fleece layer and my big coat, along with all the gloves and hats and wool socks and insulated boots that come as standard at this time of year. Even with all of that, there are some mornings when I have to nurse a hot water bottle for some hours afterwards, slowly thawing from some pretty challenging temperatures.
Yesterday morning, however, for the first time in what seems like forever, Exile #1 and I got to enjoy a walk on a beautiful blue sky day with temperatures above freezing. It was a much appreciated hint that spring might eventually arrive and, as always happens at this year, it gave the illusion of warmth, because our big coats, at last, were enough!
