Cold

Tomorrow is the spring equinox, but it doesn't feel like it.  Cold weather has returned, but I pushed myself to go out and walk anyhow.

The wind chill can be terrible, but if I walk downtown, the buildings protect me.  However, I am thinking that I need to go walk in the swamp near the Good Shepherd Nursing Home on Bronson Road. Once inside the woods, the wind would be cut by half.  The problem is the big piles of snow around the entrance.  If I could get around those, the rest of the walk would be fine.

But I think I will wait two weeks for that excursion.  By then the first wildflowers should be showing.  Yes, the marsh is full of snow but by the first of April it will be gone.

Meanwhile, tomorrow is spring so I will go have lunch with Susan out on Miller Road. We'll gossip, talk books and look at the sandhill cranes in the fields.  I take signs of spring as they come.
