I know by the time you read this it may be warm enough to believe it is spring, but I persist. It was a very cold day when I decided I had better find a nice warm turtleneck sweater toput onwhen I ventured out. I had planned to wear it under my heaviest coat, with additional warmth provided bymy hand-knit hat, scarf and mittens.

Well, unfortunately, I tuned into the latest weather news and decided it was best to stay inside.
