It was serious warmth
on the weekend. Much of our snow cover is gone; the drive is entirely clear of snow. We were in Iowa visiting my parents and I gave a reading in Ames. The snow cover all across Minnesota and Iowa is mostly gone, too.
This is winter, but not a very mean one. We enjoy good fortune for a few days. Nastiness is supposed to be coming. Today is a grey morning. Temperature is about 30 degrees above zero. No complaints yet.
The wind is hard from east to west, or perhaps nearly northeast to southwest. There's a sparrow hawk on the power line north of the village. Only some patches of snow remain in the fields. A greyness of geese above the field off to the west of where the hawk tree used to stand.
Nothing much to remark on this morning, yet it is everything that is.
