it's beginning to look a lot like spring....

and sound like it too. The birds are chirping, the geese are honking, my elusive white bird was back on the rive today and I could stand and enjoy it all from my balcony without freezing my lungs. You can see the changes on the elevator too. People were wearing shorts and flipflops, tee shirts and thin blouses. It was fun to see. I, on the other hand, still wore a sweatshirt and jeans when I went out for a walk.  Old habits die hard I guess. When I was a child Polio was still a very real threat and my mother was of the opinion that getting chilled made you more susceptible, so we wore sweaters til it was at least 70 degrees out. I know that the threat of Polio is almost non-existent these days. My mother thought Jonas Salk was a saint and we kids were first in line when the vaccine was made available in our little town. Anyway, I still find myself reaching for a sweater or sweatshirt when I don't really need it. On the other hand I haven't had a cold for a long time so who knows???? Anyway, happy first really warm day of spring everyone.
