Spring is in the air, as temperatures rise into the 40s. Blue skies and sunshine seduce the conservative northerner to lose the long johns for a day and don a sweatshirt for a while.
The sun rises earlier, hastening the dormant to greet a new day and shake off the vestiges of a winter that held every living thing in its dull, gray fingers since November. The melting snow reveals scattered bits of tan grass, a matted layer of leaves covering the garden, and a single green bud rising above the debris.
The warm weather is supposed to remain all week. Is it the start of spring or just a welcome intermission? We shall see..
