Spring has finally truly sprung. No more freezing temps (we think). Working on getting the backyard suitable for family fun… Got the pond/waterfall cleaned up tonight and making that nice trickling sound in the background. And am burning up the leftover firewood in the fire cauldron. Annette and I are sipping our favorite hot beverages (hers…coffee with lots of fru fru creamer, and mine a soy chai with a splash of hazelnut).

Can’t beat it.
