The average temperature for Toronto on March 28 is plus 8 degrees. Nowhere near that this morning as an icy north wind kept us chilled for most of this morning’s walk at Marie Curtis Park.

Today’s group:

We saw dozens of robins who are likely on their way north:

This is a photo I took a few years ago of a determined robin:

NATURE POETRY

Dear March—Come in—
How glad I am—
I hoped for you before—
Put down your Hat—
You must have walked—
How out of Breath you are—        – Emily Dickinson (1830-86)

Miles Hearn
