Here we are the middle of winter and Monday’s high was supposed to be in the low 70s! I don’t recall ever being able to wear shorts and t-shirts on the 3rd of February. With that day being my birthday, I remember more days being snowy and missing school, than days being this warm.

Whatever your preference, have fun!
