Rainy

The old saying was that if March entered like a lion it would leave like a lamb. Well, it has been windy and warm all month, so I'm not sure if that qualifies. The newspaper said, "Temperatures have been warm all winter — several degrees above historic norms — but March was in a different class. As of Friday, March had been 10.3 degrees warmer than usual. It was the warmest March, in fact, since 1945."

A sparrow, titmice, and (I think) a female bluebird showed up in the drizzle. Later it dried out but stayed cloudy. A cardinal hung out in the front yard. The columbine is blooming but almost smothered by azaleas.

An osprey circled in the afternoon. The sun peeked out briefly but the evening has gone gray again.
