Practically spring!

Today’s weather forecast was that it would reach 63˚F and there would be some sunshine in the afternoon. Well! Instead it got at least as warm as 72˚! J went on a bike ride to the river and back, something he wouldn’t normally venture until at least April. On the way back, he stopped at the high school volleyball court – which apparently has very, very good quality sand – and played volleyball for an hour with some law students.

I then walked down to the park to meet him. I heard finches, crows, and the ever-present and ever-noisy flickers on the way there, and chickadees after I arrived. Several people had their dogs off-leash on the path but fortunately had good control over them anyway. It was so early that the magnolia at the end of the street was still in bud.

In unrelated but very welcome news – DG’s friend R is conscious again, and breathing on her own. He hopes to visit her in the next few days, although Seaside is a three-hour drive from here.

That must be such a relief that R is recovering.

We had a couple of spring-like days, but then the weather turned colder and it's raining again. There are more dry days now though, thank goodness.

I have to say I prefer the rain, mostly because it knocks the pollen out of the air and gives me a reprieve from the six months of allergies...

What a gorgeous day!

Good news on DG's friend.

Pleasant weather! We had a few days of rain.

I would rather have the rain - it's better for my allergies - but since it wasn't going to rain it was great that it was unseasonably warm.
