Maybe spring

I was riding in this morning, noting the lack of ice on most of the rail trail and thinking maybe we’ve finally reached real spring. I so hate riding on that rough as shit ice. And the Red Winged Black Birds are back. Just waiting on the spring peepers.

I have had the heat off since Sunday and yesterday while I was at work, the windows open. I am hopeful to keep the heat off now through November, but it depends how cold it gets at night, and I’ll leave the heated blanket on my bed for those particularly cold mornings.

I know it’s still March and we could have cold blasts, but it seems like the trend for next week or so is warm and beyond that any cold or snow is not likely to be long lasting.
