Reprieve – To give relief or deliverance for a time.
That is what we had today – a one day reprieve from this tirade of winter 2019. The temps today got up to 48 degrees here in western Iowa and even thought we know that Nadia is closing fast, we accepted this gift of a reprieve to helps us not lose hope in spring forgetting us as in Horton who heard the Whos – We are here! We are here! We are here!
So today I was actually able to get out and run a few errands and of course refill the bird feeders. With all of that ice on top of the snow, I was just too fearful to try. But as we type the temps are already falling and will drop back to single digits. I was ever grateful for this reprieve of shining sun and “balmy” temps.
As as we brace for another cold and snowy onslaught, we will remember this breath of fresh air in hoping spring to come sooner that later.
And as we wait for milder weather, let us remember to be mild ourselves and show kindness where we can.
For the Love of 
Glad you got out for a bit. Hopefully, things won’t get too cold tomorrow.
