Wednesday

Without question, today will be noted in the books as the nicest of all 2022 March days here in south central Wisconsin. A high of 64F (or nearly 18C!). The pressure is on to do something!

But first, a visit with the animals, who are frisky and a little nuts from the sudden rush of warm air on this beautiful spring day.

And breakfast, with daffodils, hyacinths, and cake.

After hearing from our AirBnB hosts in the Ukraine (remember, our travels there start... right now!), we decided to extend our "vacation" in their beautiful country for a few more days. I recommend it for all of you! There are still a great number of available apartments and houses and the rates are unbeatable. Too, AirBnB has waved all fees associated with the bookings. Come on, take a trip!

 

In the alternative (or better yet -- in addition!), take a hike with the two of us, over in the Brooklyn Wildlife Area. Put on your Wellies, it's muddy out there!

 

 

Nothing is budding yet. We are too early to spot green tips, either in the ground or on trees. But the air is magnificent and the smell of spring is strong!

Of course, Ed dresses for the season. Shorts and t-shirt. And I shed my glasses to test out a new way of moving around.

We always feel better, sprightlier, and altogether happier after a hike! 

It's another four days until spring, but in our hearts, we're rushing the season. Refresh, renew, leap forward, recognize hope. Yeah, even though it's only March 16th!

With love...
