it may actually really be spring

Nice, if a bit windy, day today. It was nice to not have to bundle up to go outside. I went over to Gates Pond for a walk, but the batteries in my camera died just as I got there. Oh, well! I did take another walk along the rail trail after stopping at CVS for more batteries, but there wasn't a whole lot worth taking pictures of there, except for the chickens in someone's back yard bordering the trail. I did hear lots of frogs in both places, and even a few peepers! I'll take that as a sign that winter really is over.

I went with some friends to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier last night. I enjoyed it a lot, it was very good. I liked what they had to say about trading freedom for security, very topical, and one of the things that SF is so good at. Chris Evans was perfect casting, you really believe he is a displaced WWII soldier. Plus, he's a local boy (from Sudbury), and used to go to my hairdresser, Tina. Is that one degree of separation? Or two? I can never remember how that works.

If you're a fan of corvids (and who isn't, really?), there's a livecam of a pair of ravens who built a nest on a fire escape at Wellesley College. You can see it here. Should be fun once the youngsters hatch!

Now that the snow has melted, my daffodils are making an appearance. Yay!
