After several gloomy days — pea soup fog, chilly drizzle, even a thunderstorm — today felt like a day in May. Bright, warm, sunny.
The tree in front of my apartment looks like it’s ready to bust open.
I threw down some grass seed on the dying lawn in front of my apartment. Last summer left it dry and patchy, and it doesn’t help that the frequent mowing gouges the lawn.
And then I went for a walk.
The thermometer may have touched 70 today, but there’s still piles of snow on the ground, though much smaller and far fewer than even Saturday.

Yeah, it was a pretty day. I’m not as out of shape as I thought I would be. I’m glad I went out.
