running hot and cold

Here's a fun little weather report.
This morning, as the sun was thinking of coming up, I was out running in the pouring rain. And it felt like the sweetest promise of spring....because what was falling on me was not ice or snow.
I ran without a jacket, and even thought for a minute that I could have worn shorts.
And in that blue twilight as the sun rose, I saw my first heron this year.

Now, I understand they are forecasting a bit of sanctifying snow for tonight. You should have heard the howl that went up when the kids heard the news.
