Some weekly ramblings.
The first day of Spring approaches (only 6 more days!) and I’m so eager for warmer weather that I actually feel antsy this year.

Especially so I can start planting…

I mean, Monday is the start of the work week so shouldn’t we just start the week there too? No? I guess that makes sense, but I digress.

I hope all of you are keeping warm, wherever you may be today. Since it’s Funday, I thought…
