March weather

The gray sky is crumpled at the edges, leaking a little sunlight.  Squirrels and sparrows are up.

A Carolina wren hopped all over and a squirrel climbed the bricks to peer into the bedroom. Pelicans cruised the creek.  The wind has picked up but it is still a bright overcast and very warm.  This year the daffodils are first to bloom because the weather froze the leucojum buds.  Of course, there are hyacinths in the front yard, but they have the advantage of facing South. 

The predicted thunderstorm never materialized and the clouds began to break up toward sunset which was very orange.  Sparrows came for a twilight snack. Tomorrow is supposed to be much colder.

The clearing didn't last - fresh clouds were streaming through by 8pm.  The moon winked through a brief gap and disappeared.  And somewhat after 9pm the promised rain roared in.
