If you stared out of my window now you would see periwinkle, crocuses,
snowdrops, daffodills, and forsythia, lush green spring grass, buds on all
the bare tree limbs and cones on all the pines. Flocks of birds singing and
squabbling, bemused cats at the window chattering at the birds, male crows
doing the "here, watch this!" with female crows doing the
"you don't impress
me none" and great masses of newly opened leaves brightly greening on the
roses

Also, on the good news front ... the wonderful, unsurpassable, incredible
Gumbiecat has given me a lead for a heaven-sent job just tailor-made for me
(with a Vancouver lawyer) and the lawyer is someone my boss (soon to be
ex-boss) knows, respects, and likes, and feels the two of us will get along
well together!!
