Warm weather...

After a couple of weeks of really cold and snowy weather it has warmed up here considerably. It was warm enough today that my son wanted to play outside. I explained to him that because it is so muddly all we can do it daydream about playing outside. We talked about what we will do outside when the ground dries and how much he wants to visit  some of  swing sets richmond va has to offer.  In the back of my mind I am just hoping that we get a bit more cold weather because we need it. People don't realize that fruit trees and certain plants need so many hours of really cold weather. At this rate we may not get that unless February gets really cold.
