45 degrees...not the angle measurement...the temperature, in Fahrenheit.
Walking the dog this morning was pleasant, not a chore, not miserable...just something to be done. Sometimes I would feel that 45 was cold, but not today.
It's a little surprising each time this happens...when my perception of something is altered by the conditions just prior. In comparison to temperatures in the teens (and wind chills at or below zero) this morning felt like a trip to the tropics.
Contrast either makes life interesting, or it causes our ability to see/feel things clearly to be corrupted.
All I can be sure of is I didn't wear gloves and my fingers didn't freeze, that's a win.
