Cheerful (and not so) cheerful sights

The first primroses outside the grocery store yesterday.

Nova, Maya and Amanda in new pussyhats.  Go, girls.

And my favorite, totally indulgent breakfast: Avocado toast with poached egg.

Now, for the not-so-cheerful. This is a satellite picture of the huge, slow moving cyclone parked off the west coast. Yes, I said "cyclone."  The marine forecast is for 35 foot waves and up to 70 mph winds.

It looks pretty scary headed our way, but for inland Seattle, just breezy with rain today. It's still very warm, with highs in the 50's. The birds are convinced spring is coming, and who am I to argue? They say we might finally dry out by the weekend.
