I left the building this morning at 5AM in grip of Winter, happy to have my knitted hat, my leather gloves.
I spent the next nine hours either on a train or a cab or behind cinderblock walls.

About Two PM I emerged . I left the building.

It was Spring

All around.
My knitted hat was an embarrassment and I put it in my pocket and tried to hide my woolen scarf .

5-19-14 - Spring Sprung, Eggs Hatch (posted on May 19, 2014)
Between 5 PM on Friday 5-16-14 and Sunday 5-18-14, two eggs have hatched at 55 Water St. Adele has been alternating between feeding the chicks and incubating the soon to hatch eggs. When she moves off of them, those babies are in constant motion moving their necks and heads back and forth and reaching out.

It's interesting that a few miles of latitude can make such a difference in the timing of the hatching, fledging....and so on.

We have no idea of the real complexity of life.
