Pretty sunset, S&S

It's been frightfully cold and windy—the high today barely nipped 20, and the windchills put the feel-like temperature at about 20-below—and I've entered a ridiculously over-busy stage that, were I sane, I'd be writing to call a temporary halt to this blog until I got things more in hand. But I'm nothing if not stubborn, so I'll be pressing on, even if I'm opting out of a daily walk. That said, I did manage a small trek in the late afternoon, and while it was only from the car to the supermarket, I did manage to notice something and photograph it:  a rather exquisite sunset that actually had a little bit of warmth to it. I'm guessing that hint of summer is an optical illusion... or maybe hypothermia setting in. The days may be getting a tad longer, but there's no hint of balminess in the forecast. One can dream—about the premature end of winter... or, at long last, the beginning of the good stuff. Take your pick.
