The temperature got into the 70s today, which was a really nice surprise.

When I lived in California for 20 winters, a day like that could happen at any time. But it was the warmest day we had here in about three months, which made for more of a special feeling. It's supposed to stay warm through the weekend, but I doubt that winter is finished for good. At least I hope it isn't; I've been enjoying my first real winter since 1989-90 in Reno.

I really have enjoyed the fact that we have actually had snow on the ground twice, although the second time it had melted away by the middle of the day.

I'm still having a little bit of trouble getting into a regular routine, and I definitely need to figure out fairly soon what I'm going to be able to do as far as a garden this year. Between gardening, exercising and getting back to work on my book, I have to find a way to make better use of my time than I've been managing so far.

Maybe I should just take it one step at a time.

One day at a time.

Build a routine.
