Another Park, Another Sunday

After a stretch of winter that seems to have lasted since the weekend before Christmas, blue skies looked down on us today, and the temperature soared up toward the 60s. The sky was clear when I came home last night, when I woke up this morning, when I went to church, when I went to lunch, while I took a nap and when I went for a walk. Willow Springs was beautiful, and it was filled with people walking and running, playing basketball and riding bicycles, walking dogs and kicking balls to dogs.

The day was a whisper of spring in the midst of winter. The girls behind the counter at Atlanta Bread spoke to each other and to me as if this one beautiful day would last and last. But rain is forecast for tonight, and cold and snow are expected later in the week.

But what the hey, it's February! Still, as Bono sings, "It was a beautiful day! / Don't let it get away!"
