Warmer

The sky was overcast at dawn but it has cracked up to the North and the edges are sunlit.  Down here it is all gray directionless light without shadows.  An egret flew downstream and some mallards and cormorants are out on the creek.  The wren is checking the patio for edibles. Cardinals, chickadees, and both kinds of sparrows have arrived. 

The sun appeared for a while but now it's all gray again. And so it went, all day, on a wind from the SW.  A blue jay flew through our airspace.  Gulls and crows flew up against the clouds.  Geese stayed on the creek.  A few bugs thawed out and flew around, including a mosquito. 

Now for the big arctic freeze tomorrow night.
