After days of high winds, overcast skies, and some of the weirdest weather ever, snow and hail in one afternoon followed by patches of sunshine. Today seems, well, almost boring.

We have calm, clear blue skies, with a moderate breeze, and everywhere (after so much rain) is suddenly green with foliage. We even have a carpet of yellow outside, as the grass has erupted with dandelions. Throw in a song sparrow singing its heart out in the privacy hedge, and I just might be lured outside for a walk around the block and back.
