The days, while lengthening, are short yet. Their photoperiods, I mean. Today I got to work a few minutes late—and didn’t leave until nearly sunset. A busy one. And then an evening hike with Jack.

Bunch of people on the hill again, it being Boxing Day, and a Friday. Heard a couple of birds is all.

Still warm for the season. That will change.
