Indian summer-winter?
- self-footrait 😉
It is winter. And not really. We’ve had a stretch of crazy warm days, with the thermometer reaching into the upper 60’s F. It’s the stuff of riding in shorts, in short sleeves, of walking outside barefoot. A ride past my neighbor’s field and the song of (too-)early Spring Peepers. Vanishing memories of the snow of recent days past.
January?!
The warm weather makes me restless. Feelings of wanderlust, longing for variation in the routine … metamorphosis, transformation. Not exactly sure why.
Maybe in a few days it will snow, and I will return to normal (whatever that is)?
uphill on January 30 .... yes, in shorts
summing up January (aka ... shortening my camera's lifespan)

This is a phenomenon us New Englanders are quite familiar with – sometimes called the January Thaw, I know it as “Blueberry Winter”. Usually the last week or so of January the weather gets unusually warm… right before Groundhog Day. I think it’s God’s way of keeping us from going COMPLETELY crazy – even if there’s 6 more weeks (or more!) of winter to go!
Don’t know why they call it Blueberry Winter, though.
Just enjoyed it while we had it 🙂
OK … now I want blueberry muffins. Or pancakes. ;)) Thanks Jenn (lol).
We’ve sort of had a roller coaster of weather around here this January as well. Today is a perfect example….it was 80 degrees today and tomorrow we’re in for temperatures in the 20’s. Yikes. I left Canada to get away from the frigidness….so hopefully this is the last of it.
