It's a wonderful evening! Temperature of 8oC, with clear blue sky. Snow on the sidewalk is all but gone. Yes indeed, the first inkling of spring. I'm looking at a tree outside my living room and noticing the buds. Yes indeed, the promise of spring. It feels good to be alive, and for a moment, cast away the worries of the day and shrug off the days weariness. Yes, life is good.
