The Curative Effect of Sunshine

I feel like I've been let out of a cave.
It's daytime.
It's not raining.
There is no wind.
The sun is shining.
It's warmer than 50'.

Most of the ground is still soaked, so the backyard is no fun. I spent an hour cleaning up a flower bed by the house, sweeping the patios.
Refilling the bird feeders was a relaxing chore today. Hummingbirds are back. In two weeks the first of the fruit trees will be in bloom.

Last night I acted like an ostrich. I pretended there was no wind, no rain, the table and chairs outside were not being shoved about. This morning we had to pick up toters, move the furniture back into place and pick up the neighbors shingles from our driveway.

Seems the wild month of of January is over.
