Sunday marked the start of spring officially, but as always in our fickle clime, warm weather had already teased us in fits and starts for weeks. We get out more, especially with the arrival of Daylight Savings Time, and the longer hours of sun to enjoy after work. I walk the granddog, Sophie, a bit later in the morning than we've been used to, but I just need a windbreaker and patience as Sophie goes about her business.
