Melting, I'm melting...

Although, unlike for the wicked witch, it is a good thing. A week after being buried in snow, we are now melting. Well, the snow is anyway - it is only 40 after all, not the 95 it was in Austin yesterday. Spring is truly on its way now, even if winter has a couple more storms to throw at us (not that I would be disappointed if it didn't). The soundtrack to my walk yesterday was the steady drip of melting snow and the twittering of birds. This afternoon on our now-weekly walk to the library we saw a small flock of waxwings in a fruit tree, eating the berries that still hung on the branches. Hooray!
