(Listen to the radio version here when I produce it tomorrow.)At the moment I started writing this, on April 15, it was snowing. As long as it stays above 20º or so outside, our heat pump provides all our heating (our gas furnace switches on when temps drop into the teens), but we don’t like squandering energy, so we’re keeping our windows tightly closed. But at 8:43 am Saturday, April 12, while I was working at my computer, I suddenly heard Sandhill Cranes flying over.
