This has been the longest, coldest month. I am glad it is finally gone. At my age you don't wish time away, but I am glad this month is going to be history.

Re: January 31st—Finally!!!

Glad it's over for you. I choose to use January each year to regroup and rest. I am a loner so it's a bit difficult for me to be around so many people during the holidays. January and February are the winter months here and it can get me down to see everything bare and not a lot of green. This year, I decided to change my way of thinking and have spent a lot of time enjoying the bare tree branches. I know it's important for our earth to have the cold; both peaches & strawberries like to have a freeze this time of year. Just think about how wonderful the spring will be when she finally decides to wake up and wow us.

This has been an extremely mild winter in Chicagoland.... just several bad  days.  It's amazing to me that it is already February.

January was a busy month and went by quickly for me.  I hate that it's over; February flies by and before you know it, it's summer.  Ewwwww

It's been in the 70's here (Arizona) and there's rain coming and cooler temps Yea. As the months tick buy it's just a reminder of another hot miserable summer will be here all to soon.

Not me.  I fear the heat and humidity, and if there is one thing this month is not, it is hot.

I have been thinking of the heat as well this week with sunny weather back after so much rain and icy drizzle.  I noticed the sun is staying up longer this week and my first thought went to Texas and August.  I did not like January while in school but I do love it as an adult.  Plus I close my office on Mondays from Christmas until March 1st so well this coming to an end soon.
