sign of spring

These three 60-degree days in a row are making me over-confident about spring. I assume we'll face some freezing temps again before March is out. But the birds are singing loudly.

The first major sign of spring: Shirtless men running over the Key Bridge at noon on Monday. This is totally different from that one crazy guy (or group of crazy teens or early twenty-somethings) running without a shirt, his skin turning red, in a winter race.
