There is still a patch of snow approximately two inches by three inches in the front yard, but it’s melting so fast that I feel comfortable calling it.
It’s our last day with snow, hooray!

Gave the cat some chicken bits this morning and he is now certifiably insane.
Calm your crazy, kitty!

The Light of Longer Days

We have our first flowers in the backyard. Violets, small and brightly colored, peeking up through the felled branches and unkillable Creeping Charlie and pine litter.
I know that many of you have had green grass and flowers for weeks now, but not so in my neighborhood.
Here, I wait. And watch. And finally, the light of longer days helps the first amethyst petals brave an unpredictable spring.
Welcome, little ones.

She turned to the sunlight
― A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
“Winter is dead.”

More Snow

Another storm is headed our way, complete with non-negligible amounts of snow. I like winter but the thought of going for a walk without a big coat and opening a window to the scent of flowers is… nice.
Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.

A Blooming Good Time

The weather is cold here, there’s still snow everywhere, and I’ve developed a weird eye twitch from all the computing. Time to head over to D.C. and see the cherry blossoms, I think. Feel free to join me!

COVID was declared a pandemic on 3-11-20. Photos and quotes capture the moment
(March 11, 2020) “WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock, and we are deeply concerned by alarming levels of severity and inaction. We have made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.”
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
