This has been a week filled with lots of strong winds.  Earlier in the week winds were recorded in McAllister at fifty-one miles per hour.  Needless to say I was grateful to be indoors working on my art.

Ken thought it amusing that our cat, Mystic, wanted to help me.  Unable to go outdoors he decided to play with my art supplies while I was working.

Late Tuesday afternoon I went to wash my brushes and noticed the sun was shining and the wind was suddenly silent after blowing relentlessly all night and all day.  The sun was about to set in a few short minutes and I did not want to miss the opportunity to take a walk.  The thirty-eight degree temperature made it seem like springtime. So, I informed Ken I was going out for a walk and he joined me camera in hand.

After a short trip around the walking trail at Lions Park we headed home. Ken stopped to capture the sun setting on the Madison range.

As you can tell, we still have not received significant snow fall.  Temperatures are in the teens and twenties at night and the thirties and forties in the day.  It has been a very different winter so far.
