Is there anything better, after more than eight months of closed tight windows, than to leave the windows ajar and listen to the birdies sing?

Yesterday was so rejuvenating and refreshing. It re-awoke my soul. The temperature got up to plus 26 degrees Celsius, that’s 78.8 Fahrenheit.

We had windows open, the patio doors open and the front door storm door open all day. Spent most of every minute outdoors.

We were finally able to wrangle Sid inside around 8 pm last night.

Though we still have a small hill of snow in the front yard and a small patch also in the backyard, I can see that we are finally free of the chains of winter.

It didn’t even freeze last night!
