I just bought a kite. Seriously. THIS is how much I am embracing Spring. I am usually a gal who hates change. I prefer things to go as scheduled, but this Spring has been almost amusing with its defiant reluctance to commit to the norm. One day I am bundling W and myself up in [...]

It’s here. Tree Porn season. I had planned to take W out today and get some photos of the trees in my neighborhood but we woke up to rain and I am worried that most of the good stuff has now danced down to the asphalt. I took this photo yesterday morning on the way [...]
