Holding hands and walking dogs

Warm temperatures continue and I know it's sounding like I'm obsessed with the weather... but really it's astounding the impact it's had.  Driving home this evening, all the basketball courts were full of boys playing hoops, dogs were walking their masters, and couple after couple were strolling the sidewalks - holding hands  - engaged in conversation.  All this instead of our usual March activity; wrapping ourselves in blankets and watching reruns on TV.  We're out!  We're breathing fresh air.  We're alive!
