Weather.com said the high today in the Denver metro would be 62°. My thermometer disagreed. It said 66° when I took the dog out for a turn around the block. I put a sweatshirt on over my T-shirt before I left the house and was uncomfortably warm by the time I got home.

Uncomfortably warm. There’s something I haven’t been for a while. Denver, in fact, has had record cold temps in the last month, and a decent amount of snow. I shoveled about 6″ off the driveway just a week ago. But with a warm, dry “snow eater” breeze up today, what’s left of it is melting fast.

I’ve even got a couple of windows cracked open. Lovin’ it. It won’t last, of course. But at the moment it sure seems like spring. Especially when I check out the hummingbird cam in Southern California, where babies Bea and Jay will be fledging (leaving the nest) any moment now.
