I left the house this morning dressed in the usual layers of fleece and windbreaker, expecting more of the same damp and chilly weather that has been the norm for however long now.

But then, as I walked around to the car, I felt something.

Hmmm. What is this?

Sunshine.

Warmth.

And now, as I look out my office window (which I do a lot rather than actually work... shhh!!!), I see the temperature on the Time & Temp Building has risen to a balmy 57 degrees and the sky is bright blue with only a smattering of wispy clouds.

Could it be? Could spring finally be here... to stay? Could it really be possible to be outdoors without a full rain suit on?

The forecast for the weekend even looks reasonable. I shutter to think, but it might actually be time to hike in... shorts!
