just a note to mark the changing seasons:

capri0mniThere's a small oak tree out behind my house that holds onto its brown, shrivelled leaves all winter.
They don't drop off until the buds swell with new leaves.
The old leaves fell off sometime last week.
This morning I looked out and saw tiny, newly forming leaves in their place.

Sometimes, birds perch on the ventilation chimneys from my bathrooms, and I can hear them through the vents in the ceiling -- like with a tin can phone -- Today, while I was writing at the computer, I heard a mockingbird (pretty sure it was a mocking bird) singing for hours... nice...
---
Oh, and Dad was planning to come down this weekend (the 12th), postponed from the end of March due to the driveway being blocked by snow. ... He was coming, but there will be a blizzard tomorrow, that will dump anywhere from 8 to 12 inches of new snow on the ground... And it will be too chilly all week for the snow to melt. So the visit is up in the air (again).

Ah! Spring!
