Coyote

Saw an adult coyote go through the backyard about 9:00 a.m., apparently foraging for food. A lot of the snow has melted with temperatures a balmy 40 degrees.

The end of the month

I'm glad this month is drawing to a close. It's been a bit tumultuous.

More hyacinths budding - this time in the snow.

Surreal moment

Today, sitting at a stop light on a four-lane, all of us in traffice were dropped into a scene from a movie. Three police cars with lights flashing approached the intersection from the cross street. Two turned left and one turned right, hesitated and turned into a business drive on the right. Seconds later, the other two came back through the intersection. The third car joined them. An ambulance with lights flashing turned the corner 1/8 mile ahead, coming toward the police cars. Immediately the three police cars turned to the left in the middle of the street, executed a perfect three-point turn in synchrony and drove back through the intersection, escorting the ambulance. The entire scene took the amount of time that we sat through the stop light. Time went into slow motion and then snapped back into real time when the light turned green.
