My oh my it's a glorious day. Temps got up to the mid-forties today and it has been sunny. So wonderful. Took the maniac dog for a 20 min walk, which he loved, and we heard BIRDS CHIRPING! BIRDS!
I realize of course there is technically another month of winter left, at least according to the calendar makers. However, on the great "blizzard 2011" (which was kind of over-blown around here but really bad elsewhere in the country) the crazy people in PA decided groundhog day would go on - blizzard or not.
And in the snowstorm there was nary a shadow to be seen, by groundhog or human. So supposedly spring is coming early this year. I would be delighted if this turns out to be true.
Another oddity on our walk, I noticed a tree down the street with it's leaves still attached. Brown, dry, old leaves. But the WHOLE tree was still covered. It was very odd - unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me so I'll have to take a picture on some future walk. But rest assured, it was weird.
Finally, I got up at 8 am and went grocery shopping. WTF is wrong with me? Although I will say, going to the grocery store that early was awesome. Even though it's a Sunday (usually a day of horror at the grocery store) it was quiet, I got a good parking spot and all the fresh foods were...well...fresh.
