Evidence of Spring!

The dark days are almost over.

I was so excited when I woke up this morning and noticed all the pretty blooms all over the place. I plan to spend this weekend digging in the dirt. Right now my husband it outside fighting his super villain nemesis of the moment: a fallen tree behind our garage. He is so cute when he gets really into a project like that. He borrowed all kinds of loud, gasoline powered tools from various family members and friends and today, after coffee, we went across the street to the neighborhood hardware store and bought our first ax. I tried to talk him into getting the one-sided blade. But, he insisted on the one with the most limb-severing sharp parts. He is serious. I can't watch.
