It was cold and windy yesterday morning with bits of snow, so John and I stayed home where it was nice and warm. Today started off still overcast and gloomy, but by the end of my marathon conference call this afternoon between me, my clients in Michigan, and an outsourcing firm in India, the day had cleared off and was quite wonderful for walking.
I didn't stay out very long, but long enough to walk to the small cemetery at the end of the block, and up the hill to look over the neighboring park and on down to the Cedar River. We've finally lost almost all of our snow, save for those areas mostly in deep shade. Things are just barely beginning to turn green, and the willow trees are turning faintly yellow -- the color they have just before their leaves begin to sprout. I'm hopeful next weekend we can head to the trail down by Indian Creek; we haven't been down there in more than four months.
