And then reality comes around the corner and reminds you that it's 
really only the 12th of March and you live in Maryland. After tomorrow, 
Tuesday's forecast is to reach 61 and then the next 13 days are not 
expected to break 50, with most days in the mid-40s. You gotta love the 
winter to spring transition in the mid-Atlantic. If you didn't they'd 
drive you mad.

For those keeping track. 3 days after the female Kestrel returned to her 
nest below the control tower at BWI 2 weeks ago, her mate joined her and 
the aerial displays have been ongoing since.
