If this were Minnesota, today might rate a “7” on Ed’s enjoyment index, if there were such a number. Out here it is probably a “5”, inasmuch as days like today can and do happen.

We started at a frosty, foggy 27 degrees this morning, but the fog burned off before noon revealing a cloudless sky, a light south breeze, and a high temperature of 53 degrees. I came home early from school – postponing my work until this evening – to work in the garden. Already I sense a quickening in the birds, the flocks overhead, and the plants – making it clear that we are now on the upswing toward spring and warmer days.<\/p>\n
