i am not a morning person.

but damn, this was an absolutely gorgeous late winter morning. a fresh snowpack (6 inches on monday, and it hasn't got above freezing yet), a bright sun shining in a cloudless, clear blue sky. and minimal wind.

the last third or so of my walk to work takes me on a path through a park along a wide creek. it's my favorite part of the walk, no contest. and in the clear morning sunshine, assuming my ears aren't about to freeze and fall off, it never fails to cheer me up.

then, of course, i get to my windowless office with buzzing flurescent lights and all that goes out the window. but what the hell, it's nice while it lasts. it's not nearly so effective in the afternoon, when i hit the park first and the streets after. and there's something different about the quality of the light when the sun is rising and when it's setting. although at least i get to see sunset now.

the equinox approacheth.

Yes a beautiful winter morning is glorious. But you know what's better? Being able to leave you're house on March 1st in a T-shirt and Jean jacket and strolling through warmth all day. Ha ha, it's warm over here.
