The one thing I noticed is that the squirrels are almost black and their fur is thicker than usual. That usually indicates a cold winter, but they are saying it will be mild. Much more weather like today and I'll be able to plant a garden before long.

Perhaps it's the hot air from the Trump rallies confusing Mother Nature?
