Love, So Be It

Valentine's is a tough one. I don't buy into the holiday and all, but in my aging boredom it's nice to have a little something to differentiate between days when they all blur together and turn life into one blinding flash of routine and repetition until you finally perish of cynicism and halitosis. 

Some wine, candles, flowers, and the worst red velvet cake ever concocted. 

Dinner was heart-shaped

Sweet potato and kale chicken patties over a nice bed of greens... heart healthy on heart day

This will be empty by the end of tonight

I think she got a caramel

Happy Valentine's Day

Spring Rejuvenates, A Countdown Ruminates

OH! It felt so good to get outside in the warmth yesterday and get our hands in the dirt. Granted all we did was clean up some of the mess made by winter and plant a few flowers, but it really got our spring to sprung and now I can't wait for this weekend when we're gonna spend two whole days working in the yard. Who'd'a thunk it?

Yuula, can you say clematis?

Laura never could resist a good tulip

her aim's a little off but the intent is there

I love a girl who's not afraid to get her feet dirty

the grill open for business and may have customers every evening

that bandaid is legit

done

The only unknown now is how long will it take for me to give into the heat and shear my woolen coat.

The countdown begins...
