If you didn't know it was January you'd think it was spring in Hawkeye. Usually this doesn't happen until the sap thaws and warms the tree, but this was on a south-facing slope. The sap must be frozen by now, and I hope it wasn't fooled by the warm breeze and high temps into thinking it was spring. It was just a really nice thaw with warm breezes. Now it's back to reality, temps in single digits later this week. At least I got my roof cleared off--huge icicles fell (ka-thump!), startling the dogs and making me laugh.
