Shorts to Snow in a Day
After a couple of days of beautiful shorts weather, the dreaded return-to-winter front now passes through. The air has begun to chill, grey blankets the sky, and the wind has lost its lustiness and has turned frigid. There is a chance of snow tomorrow and possibly Saturday. By Monday, the temperatures will return to the 50s, but it appears that I'll have to forget about the 70s until I vacation later this month.
Meh. Wild, uncontrollable nature.

I've been working on a grant proposal today. It's amazing how much it takes to write one of these babies. That strikes me everytime I'm compiling a report or trying to work on proposal prep. My mind's pretty mushy now, and I'm glad it's just about time to break.
It'll wait until Saturday.

Is anyone doing anything spectacular for St. Patty's Day? I'm staying at home, hanging with MNP and the Connecticut Yankee from work (perhaps some other co-workers.) CY is making corned beef and cabbage, and we've got the fixins for Car Bombs.

Writing lately's mostly been for work. Wrote a haiku for the Earth Day Workday today, at least. I've also been scribbling a lot in my non-digital journal.
(As an aside, I saw nine wood ducks yesterday! RAWK. And six garter snakes. And pintails, black ducks, mallards, lingering Canada geese and two Canada geese corpses, turtles, Great Blue Herons--one wading in the creek--and tons of songbirds.)
