ONE WEEK OF FEBRUARY GONE

Lost Mine Trail, Big Bend National Park, Texas 2 February 1995

Still longing for winter to break and let some warmth into our lives. This has been a hard winter starting on December 11th with a massive ice storm, and continued on a weekly basis with snow, sleet, and then rain which turns everything back to ice again. It has been difficult to do anything outside with days where the temp never rose above the mid-teens. But it is evident that the sun is a little higher in the sky each day, and the daylight is lasting a little longer. With each lengthening day, you can see people's spirits rise. Now if we can just get the temp to do the same.
