a little taste of spring

Yesterday it was unseasonably warm. When it got to about 55 degrees outside, I turned off the heat and opened some windows and the front door. Daniel and Anya looked outside, fascinated that we could keep the front door open, something we haven't been able to do since about September. After a couple of hours, of course, it got a little too cool, so we had to close everything back up and turn the heat back on. But it was just like a little taste of spring.
