Almost….

Wednesday, January 17, 2024

This is a blasting hot morning because temperatures have risen to the mid-30s. Yes, thermometers are popping after days of solidly sticking to or near dead zero. Yes, harsh days, meaning trudging through deep snow, driving on slick roadways, and having freezing finger pains. Yes, warmer, and this deep freeze, please become history!

Despite all the weather blips, I’m happy in Central Oregon. Yes, still happy in this ever-exploding and yet small city populated with friendly, outdoorsy types. I’m even happier because the winter snows have elevated the mountain snowpacks to normal levels, and this spring will yield adequate hay for all our needs.

Already, daylights last an hour more than they did last month, and in another month, they will linger longer. The light and weather returning to normal will feel wonderful and inspiring.

Dear Friends: Now’s a good time to think ahead and renew some plans. Diana
