weather

It's melting here in Minnesota. The pond out back is almost free of ice and birds are returning en masse. The ducks and geese are busy preparing for nesting, and we seem to have a surplus of what I identify as red finches. It was so nice to eb able to go outside, last week anyway, without a jacket and be able to smell things. I am really looking forward to being able to sleep with an open window again. Deprivation really makes you appreciate the small things in life.
