I think my dog agreed with me tonight... It was a lovely evening for our walk, and we took our time.
Toward the east against blue sky, we watched an almost-full moon rising like a pearl above a snow-clad ski hill... In the west, a setting sun tossed fire into jet trails and added color to the lowering shadows of the trees against a gleaming snow pack...
We began to hear the courting calls of cardinals...
As for Madame Springtime, if she hasn't made her entrance yet, I think we sensed her presence in the wings.
