I think it is chick-lit. And that is okay. I read it all. It is okay to know about the female mind.

Meanwhile in Poland... it's the time between the False and True Spring. As I went out onto the balcony early in the morning, I could see frost on the roof of a car parking nearby.
The day temperatures are manageable for the bike rides though, appropriate clothing required, temperatures such as 9 C. I hope for a warmer Sunday as we set off for another interesting ride with the support of the railways.

One of the small lakes in our greenbelt gets baby ducks every mid-spring.
And every year, the whole neighborhood goes absolutely nuts over them. The cuteness these little ones pump out borders on lethal.
Don't get the wrong idea. After the 1st week or so, the parents aren't all that attentive.
In fact — to the outrage of some of the human mothers passing by — the parents are usually off doing their own thing, paying absolutely no attention. Wouldn't be the least surprised to hear that there have been calls to Child Protective Services.
One of this year's 2 broods out for a cruise. Sadly, the babies disappear one by one as the crows and coyotes take their toll. We're now down to 9 total out of 14+. Would more watchful parenting really improve the odds?

Last of the baby duck photos, I promise.
The parents stayed close by this evening — maybe because it was getting close to dusk, when the coyotes tend to come out.

Not exactly a sign of Spring, in fact, just the opposite. 81F here 2 days ago with trees & plants budding out.
Woke up this morning to 26F and this:
It's predicted to be below 20F tomorrow morning. I guess we can say goodbye to our peach and apple blossoms.
