Sorry to hear about your cold, hope it improves pronto! Prayers up for your husband; may Merciful God grant him full recovery, and may His Grace provide you both with strength and peace of mind.
Anyway, enjoy your sunshine while it lasts -- here in Upstate NY, we're having a blizzard, it's averaging about +1F, and it's supposed to hit -10F in the next day or two, with windchill around -25F.
All the outdoor plants in the yard have pulled themselves up, marched to the front door, and are pleading piteously to be let inside with the indoor plants. ;-)
The mice in the field found a way into the house (they're very industrious that way), so we got out the Havaharts and set up a Habitrail to keep them alive until we can release them without them turning into mouse-sicles 5 minutes after release. True.
The little evergreens we nurtured over last winter and the past summer are looking rather forelorn and I hope they make it.
This is tough time for gardeners, everything we did all summer is frozen solid and much of it may die off. But we are resilient, and will wait patiently for spring.
God Bless.
My Very Small Very Fierce mouser cat would like to talk to you about testing mouse-sicles for wider distribution.

awww you are sweet people.
i fed my strays in town today. i don’t know how they survive this cold. i worry about them often
Thanks for the sympathy and prayers. We truly are luckier here, so far than the Eastern states with respect to the cold.
We do sometimes have winters when the snow is deep and so bad that school is out for almost 2 months straight-but that has been rare, in my lifetime.
We almost always have some warmer days in the 40s and 50s to recover until the next storm hits.
