No-Winter's End


So....February 23 isn't exactly the first day of spring, but it still looks rather like it. Twiggy trees, grey skies with a touch of gold...what's not to crawl back from? Currently there is already some greenery, weeks before its usual date. Thanks for welcoming me back, folks. I am in hiding or self-isolation but have not caught the plague yet. There's plenty to do indoors. The only disadvantage being stuck here is that the management is renovating a swimming pool in a construction site directly under my windows and the noise and dust is very annoying, even through closed windows! Jackhammers chip plaster and workmen are dragging and tossing heavy white chunks of concrete into a big truck, each chunk makes a loud crash. Other than the jackhammers and the concrete, I'm OK for now. Peaceful atmosphere, you know.
