Last night the temperature dropped from 73 to 43 degrees over the course of only 2 hours. The wind made that feel even colder.

Winter has yet to leave us.

This weather has been odd. It reminds me more of September & October rather than mid-April.

Right now the wind is whipping the trees up and whistling down my fireplace chimney. Earlier, I saw a small squirrel hugging a tree branch tightly as the wind rocked his perch. His grey coat was scruffy and rough looking.

It is cold and damp.

Rain is forecast for tomorrow.
