sprung

Oh cruel Nature, today it smells like spring. The air is warmed by sun, and green leaves have woken up. It will only be for this week, but it's enough to perk up Portlanders.

This morning fog was so heavy where I work that there was an infinity effect on the lake. I wish I had my camera for it. Later, when the fog lifted, Cory showed me the drifted ice that's still clinging to the shadier parts of the lake. The ice had the exact square shapes of the lake's concrete borders, and it looked like a lesson in plate techtonics

I rushed home for a chimney repair estimate, and while I waited for the guy to show up I did some yard work. It was glorious.
