Spring!

Spring has definitely come! Thermometer at the front says 55, and that's in the shade! In the sun, it's definitely warmer - we'd even say hot! Right now we're lounging on the couches and the doors next to the fireplace are open with a pleasant breeze blowing in. Snow is still feet deep - the very top of one of our stumps is showing out at the campfire, but nothing else. A couple of bare patches for the first time.

It froze last night, but not until well after we walked in, obviously. This morning I was able to wander around and mostly didn't break through the snow, although it was obviously spotty. There is a little bit of snow left piled on the decks, but small mounds.

We are marinating a tri tip in the fridge. Lots of cooking accomplished already today.

UPDATE! Becky put the thermometer in the sun and it just hit 80. There are heat waves coming off the roof and off the railings! Very, very pleasant here right now.
