A Fun Winter Day

     As far as February in Wisconsin goes, today was a beautiful day! Nearly 50 degrees out. Matthew and I started out the day by going to Church. Actually, he went to church but I skipped today to study in a coffee shop next door. I have four nursing school exams in the next two weeks.
     After church Matthew and I grabbed a quick lunch at Subway, and then headed over to Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison. We met up with some friends there and went into the conservatory, which had an orchid show going on. It's around 80 degrees in the conservatory and felt so good! After that we went out to the outdoor area and walked the paths to the Thai temple (which I forgot to take any pictures of). It felt wonderful outside, although we had to watch our step for puddles due to the melting snow! Then we went back inside the building to view an art and craft show. There were lots of booths selling various things.
     Now we're back at home, mostly relaxing. We had some overripe bananas so I made some banana bread. It's currently in the oven and smells great in here!

I really enjoyed yesterday's weather. It only made it up 34, but that's considerably better than the 20s it has been lately. And it was foggy. I normally wouldn't care too much for fog, but I was outside walking to work and the humidity felt so good! The weather app on my phone said it was 93% humidity, and it's just been so dry lately that it was really nice!
I know we still have a LOT of winter left, but now I'm really looking forward to spring and summer!
But I can take of advantage of this colder weather to get more sewing done, since I can't spend time outside. I can sew spring and summer dresses for the upcoming warm weather!

Winter?

What's wrong with winter?! We've hardly had any truly cold (under 32 degrees) days! We've only had snow that stuck once (about 3/4) inch, and a few flurries.
Depressing! I want snow! I want to go sledding. But right now it's 46* out and my mom just took Odo for a walk, and neither of them need their coats (yes, we do have a doggy coat for Odo).
So I bet this means we'll have a snowy spring, when I won't want snow anymore..

I think we need this much snow. Just once...
