Earlier this week, we experienced what can only be described as a miracle.  The temperature on Monday and Tuesday was summer like in comparison to the bitter cold we experienced only a few days before that.  Going from temperatures of "I can't feel my face" to "where are my shorts and t-shirts?" ...
