Signs of Spring

Another first: first day this year that I felt I needed sunscreen, because it was the first day I went out in a tank top. I spent an hour or so sitting on a lawn in the park, reading and nibbling chocolate and enjoying the warmth. The maples are flowering, and some of the bushes are starting to leaf out, but there's a serious contrast between today's warmth (with blue sky and occasional insects above me) and how early the season looks.

It is a bit early for me to be comfortable sitting outside in a tank top; it's also late for the maples to be flowering (and some aren't yet) and so much else to still be bare.
