Spring is still a couple of weeks off, but the weather was positively balmy around here yesterday, and it's supposed to be even nicer today (in spite of the hard science behind rodent forecasts). I'm not going to question it for the moment, as even though it was a very mild winter, the first days of real warmth and sunshine are always uplifting.
