January 18

We had a nice walk this afternoon. The sky was cloudy but the air was clearer than usual as we strolled along one of our usual routes. I miss snow sometimes, but it's hard not to enjoy this incarnation of January.

Green grass (courtesy of recent rain), clean air, and temps in the low sixties. So despite my many (many, many) gripes with how this state is run, today, I'm grateful for the great climate and the rains that will hopefully continue in the coming months and bring abundant life back to our drought-stricken land.
