I am sorry to report that it has been 0 days since my positive Covid test. It’s my first positive and I have five shots on board, but so far I will say that the experience has been less than fun. It’s still better than an earthquake, interplanetary shock or solar flare, all of which have also happened in the past week:

You can lose money but make it back. You can forget knowledge but relearn it. You can lose and regain skills, reputation, and authority.
But time? Once you lose time, it can never be recovered.

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.

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.

Welcome, little ones.

And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
“Winter is dead.”
