We did get rain but not as bad as originally thought at least in our area.
It reached 14 c today and the snow is almost gone except where it was piled up.
Several Robins are around now plus Chickadees and Cardinals.
It was overcast this afternoon and we sat outside and the sun did poke it's nose out occasionally. No jackets required so it was very enjoyable.
Good luck on the TA Fred and I'm sure with your talent it'll look great.
Have a great week
