Twenty-two of Thirty: A lovely pre-winter morning

After yesterday's nasty cold temperatures, this morning dawned as welcome relief. It's not nearly as cold and there is no wind. I glanced out the window to see a hot air balloon drifting slowly above the winter-white landscape and rushed to grab my camera. If this was all there was to winter, I could handle it. Sadly - there's more brutal weather to come in the next few months.
