Happy New Year, Johnson! It is bitterly cold here. Coats on the horses. I'd probably put a coat on the cat, too, if I could catch him! Hope all is well. ~ kate
Thanks, Kate. The weather her is the opposite to yours – so mild for the time of year that we've actually taken one of the coats off the horses. Sunshine too, today – birds singing, felt like early March not January. I'm sure we'll all suffer for it soon!Johnson
