The temperature got warm in the Midwest today. It hadn’t been this warm since last October. I like to think I brought the warm weather with me from Hawaii. lol 🌞

If that is true then please come to visit us too… lol! But I must not complain. Although the weather got wet again it is still warmer than it is supposed to at this time of the year.
