This morning I ignored seeking out what the temperature was outside.  In total bliss I did what I enjoy doing when I have my first cup of coffee and have missed doing so. Cup in hand and clothed in my robe I walked out onto the patio and beyond seeing what my backyard had to offer.  I had not done that since sometime in the late fall or early winter.  It was important to stay upright on my two feet and I had given in to snow and ice.  Since what seemed to be forever I had depended on the view from my bathroom window to keep an eye on the yard to the east.  Today set the precedence for all the tomorrows of this spring.  On my way back to the house to get a refill of coffee I realized that all that had been a puddle yesterday afternoon was now thick with ice.  So be it — I’m back!
