Day 14.070: Exile #2's Sunday Column #338

It was a gorgeous weekend. Maybe not quite t-shirt weather but it was sunny and warm and it did us good. Of course, right now we’re in mud season, where the snow is melting, only the evergreens are showing life, and all grass is bleached and dead. But you get strangely adjusted to it, so that you notice the smallest variations, such as the white bark of the birch trees, or the bare red twigs on shrubs - and of course there are the amazing blue skies, that Maine is very good at supplying in Spring.


I don’t know about you, but we all feel a bit like the grass right now. E5N1 is coming up fast on his second pandemic birthday, and all the young Exiles are struggling to keep up momentum in their school work, but I’m hoping that a bit more warmth and light, and the prospect of vaccines on the horizon for most of us, will help us all feel a bit better. I hope it will be the same for you too.
