Spent all day at my desk, feeling like a chest cold is coming along. Sunny and 30s (F), a fast-moving stream out back. Major thaw over the past day or two.

Beech Hill was muddy, watery, and nearly completely devoid of snow. Quite a few little birds galavanting around, including a pair of Brown Creepers.

Not feeling great tonight. Early bedtime for me. Jack, on the other hand, seems great. (Early bedtime for him, too.)
