Mild


The cold vanished overnight. It was warm enough to amble about in T-shirt and shorts. Along the levee bikers and bladers whizzed by, forcing pedestrians to scurry onto the ice plant for self-preservation.

Sprinklers have been switched on. The ground has dried out after last week's storms.

Ducks and geese leave signs of their presence everywhere. Wildlife is beautiful at a distance or in the abstract.

The afternoon sun tinges the houses gold. The grey chill returns tomorrow. No matter, let tomorrow take care of itself.
