Woods all wet after an all night rain, which we needed. And warm again.
It will drop over thirty by morning, with snow expected tomorrow.
Christmas Day and today both warmed above 70 degrees. Another coming midweek. I’ve lost count, but that’s more than I remember in my lifetime.
While T napped and read on the porch swing, Doug and Jenn and I took the kayaks to Hatton Ferry and floated down the James for a few hours.
Saw one jonboat in the distance, briefly; otherwise, we had the river to ourselves all day long.
Not natural, but glorious even so.
