Imagine my surprise when I encountered this sign on a new restaurant while driving to my office this morning!





It is warm! It is 62° at 7 AM this morning. It is forecast to be 98° this afternoon. This is warm for April. Nonetheless, I will enjoy the warmth without complain. I have the rear door open, and a gentle breeze is wafting through my office. It is an excellent morning. The open door has the added benefit of allowing me to hear the birds singing. How I love the sound of birds singing!
