The weather turned today. 54 and sunny. I've really dug these first days of quasi-spring since I was a kid. It's nice to open windows and go outside. Things get dirty in the winter. I got a hose, leaf blower and broom out and tried to make the garage and patio clean again. That's like a giant psycho-spiritual turning point in the year for me and all the various animals involved. By now, they're as sick of winter as I am.
