2/17: no coat for the conclusion

There was ice here for almost 2 weeks at the beginning of the month--very unusual for Arkansas--but today was so warm that I didn't need a coat for my afternoon walk. I didn't want to be presumptuous, so I wore a coat anyway, and then had to take it off and carry it because it was too hot. I was listening to the last hour of Liesl & Po, and since the weather was so balmy and sunny I just kept walking until I reached the end of the audiobook. Listening to the novel was such a delight, and I'm very eager to read it now and spend more time with the story in a different way.
