43: I'll take it!

There's no picture to go with today's post.  I had a great opportunity for an interesting photo this afternoon, but I missed it. There were several ducks snacking on puddles of slush next to the running trail I was on.  They were the kind with rich, vibrant greens and blues on their feathers -- mallards, perhaps -- and they were clearly accustomed to people, barely batting an eye when I passed with three feet of them.  I bet they would have posed quite nicely for a photo.

I didn't have a camera or my phone with me, though.  It's ok, though: it's because, like I mentioned in passing there, I was running. 

Outside.

In February.

It was pretty great.  43 degrees, overcast, and just barely warm enough for standing still.  After a couple minutes of running, it was perfect.  Other than one little stretch of shaded ground, the trail and sidewalks were ice-free.

I do like this non-winter we're having.
