Noticing the year, Mid-March 2010

[urbpan]

Beautiful day, laughingly called warm (50's) by sun-starved New Englanders. We saw our first red-wing blackbird this week and our first bats tonight. I wore hiking sandals on our dogwalk, but am not putting away the snowboots yet. This isn't my first March in New England.

I told my mom we had a high of 62 and everyone was in shorts, and that we were pathetically grateful. I don't trust it, either. Even though it's supposed to be near 70(!!!?!) today.

Yesterday was a beautiful day here too. Definitely felt like spring as I did a nature walk with a group along the C&O canal towpath. We're (Washington DC) a bit warmer and a bit seasonally ahead of you. Our red maples are in bloom. We saw butterflies, including a mourning cloak and a comma (or possibly a questionmark), many turtles sunning themselves on logs, and the wood frogs amused us with their noisemaking.
