Relative Something

The nice thing about spring snow is that it doesn’t last long. Saturday was cloudy and snowy, Sunday turned out sunny and nice.

Ian, Cyndie spoke about thinking of you while she was transplanting some pansies she bought from a garden store. I finally got out on the back deck in the warm sun and returned to my long-dormant bracelet sculpting project. As the chilly breeze was moving across my ankles, I thought about the high heat you have described in Portugal already. We are a long way from that. But we will soon be able to work on the landscape around our house.

We can’t get started on planting much yet as our forecast for the coming week calls for low temperatures overnight near or below freezing. Cold morning temperatures like that are enough to keep me from wanting to start riding my bicycle to work yet. Luckily, I’m prepared to return to exercising my ankle with morning indoor futsal matches starting today.

That isn’t really a quick change, but at least it is change in the desired direction.
