Life in the mountains
It was the day after Valentine’s Day, and John noticed the temperature was 71 F (21.6 C). We promptly took the last of our Valentine cake out to the porch to enjoy the warmth while we ate. My definition of porch weather begins at 65 F, so we could probably have eaten lunch outside earlier. Surely this was the earliest we’ve ever done this! Last year we were out there at least once in March and once in December when daughter Lise was here. Those are the fringe months.

The first day or two that you can enjoy on the porch are always the sweetest! We’re hoping to hit 70 next week, right after a weekend snowstorm (seriously?). Now I know where you ate MY piece of the valentine cake!

I should have put some of the cake on the fork and toasted you with it. You are right about the porch. It’s especially sweet when you aren’t used to it.

Guess it has to wait. Let’s see, to get to 71 (or 22 Celsius as we would say) will take another 3 months, about! 😬😕
