Dear friends, It is the penultimate Thursday before spring arrives and not a moment sooner. Soon we shall experience the verdant warmth of the post-equinox and then hope springs eternal. Just this week the temperatures rose above the freezing point and some dihydrogen monoxygen crystals began to melt and/or sublimate into the Ether. So, did you witness any as exciting as the above description? No? At least you got some wonderful snaps on your Thursday Walk.
