Yes we are finally above zero. It was so much warmer than it has been that I walked to work. The first time in months. It felt so good to be out walking again. The sky was black as it had snowed earlier. You could hear a slight breeze through the trees. The only other sound was the snow crunching below my boots. Even my body stopped fighting the cold that has invaded me and enjoyed the silence.
No birds chirped in the night. No hares darting back under the trees. It was just me and the solitude. Even the creek that fought so long to stay unfrozen was quiet. Only one car passed me on the road. It was me lost in thought but I don't remember thinking about anything. I just know that once I made it to the office I was sorry it was over. I hope we stay above zero at least for a few more days as it is nice to enjoy the wilderness again.
