Spring all at once

Today has been warm and intermittently sunny. I wandered in the park. It's that point in April where it looks like we're having all of spring at once: violets and tulips and the maples all in bloom, at least four kinds of ornamental cherry, lots of dandelions, Dutchman's britches, and even the last of the forsythia flowers (though more green leaves than yellow flowers there). Lily of the valley and lilac soon, I think.

I also took advantage of the warm weather to open all the windows and do a bit of cleaning that needs ventilation. Adulthood is complicated. But being a grown-up also means that I can have just baked sweet potatoes for dinner, if that still seems like a good idea in a couple of hours.
