It's a lovely day - 55 degrees this afternoon - but it feels warmer in the sun. I did the first project of the year preparing to garden - rotating a bin of compost into another composter to finish it off. It felt good to be outside, working, moving, feeling the warm sun and cool air. The forsythia is in full bloom, and a female cardinal perched in the still bare tree and sang while I worked.
The fig tree is budding - I'm hoping for a good year from it after a hard winter a year ago that killed it back. Across the street, one oak still holds onto brown leaves from last year, even as the canopy of tulip poplars above is beginning to green up. There's still a lot of spring to go, but it's off to a good start.
