Oh what a day!!

We had to be outside today. It got up to over 50 degrees. We went to Yorkville and saw they had a new walkway built by the Fox River.  My husband noticed the sky.  You can just see the moon just above the tree line on the right hand side.

Checking the sky, looking East along the Fox River

As we turned to go, the sky to the West was looking just as spectacular.

My husband said these were the clouds in front of the cold front coming through. Still looking West.

We were almost home when I took this one.  It is looking East again.  There were white puffs in areas of the clouds.
I just had to share.  It is so unusual to be out and about in sweatshirts on the 6th of January.  It felt more like Spring.  I kept thinking I was going to see flowers blooming in the woods.

What a beautiful day.
I hope yours was as gorgeous as mine!

We were actually outside doing some garden maintenance today. Crazy weather - I still hope I get to wear my turtlenecks one time this year. I love these pictures. We so often forget to look up at the clouds. Thank you for sharing these with us. Judy C

What fabulous cloud pictures! We've been having pretty mild weather out here in New England too...so nice not having to shovel this late into winter!

Just found out that I'll be making you an accessory bag for the Dandelion Quilts bag swap...looking forward to it!

Lovely, lovely pictures! The weather is lovely here today. We are going to pay, probably in the spring, for such a dry winter.
