It feels so much like spring these days.
We’ve got bright and beautiful sunshine that’s actually warm when you step out of the shadows — warm enough that it’s tempting to ditch my winter coat and go back to my spring/fall jacket.
Green buds are showing on the tips of tree branches.
All this, and it’s just barely into February. That just doesn’t seem right. Okay, so I’m not in Alaska anymore, where February tends to be the coldest and most bitter weeks of winter, but isn’t it just a bit early for weather like this, even here in Seattle?
Whatever’s going on, though, I’m enjoying it.
