I have my all-purpose cardigan back. It was in today's mail, in a padded envelope, with a friendly and very purple card from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rysmiel, and I am extremely pleased.
I went for a nice walk today; it's still not much above freezing, but that's better than not much below, and most of the snow is gone, even in the woods. I ran into some long-time neighbors--they've been up here, and enjoying the park, longer than we have--who told me they'd put up a bird feeder, and where. So I went and looked, and enjoyed the chickadees flying low, and perching near me, even though I had no seeds to give them. (They kept swooping close enough that I could hear their wings beating, which is a lot closer with a little bird than with a mallard.) I also saw two crocus buds--they won't be opening for a few days, even if all goes well (and they neither freeze nor are eaten by squirrels), but they were distinctly and visibly pale purple. It's the same place/group of bulbs this userpic is from.
