Colder than a witches you know what here! We've been well below zero since last week. I may have cost myself two pumps by waiting just a tad too long to pull them!

the sunset the last couple of warm days has been amazing Hubby and I sat on the front porch with our coffee to watch it but that may have been the last of it because the rest of the next week we may only hit 50 degrees which is the norm for South side VA
