It was spring today, at least for the day. Walking to the bus was a wonderful experience, until I got to the bus stop on Penn Ave. The walk wasn’t shoveled, not unexpected, but the ice, snow, slush on the ground was black, really black. I guess this comes from the traffic on Penn, but it makes me wonder what I’m getting in my lungs standing there and waiting.

But it was a wonderful day. I did a lot of walking in between classes, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a lot of energy and felt lighter, which I was; no heavy coat, hat or scarf. I missed all of my classes because of the weather last week, so it was nice to get back to them.

The groundhog did not see his shadow this year, so maybe we will have an early spring. That would be sooooo nice.
