Yawn, stretch, throw on some pants and back to it.
But it’s taking a whole lot of will power to get up and go. It’s just too perfect out to do much of anything. Is it weird that I love this cold and rainy weather? These are the days that I can spend all day in a ball of blankets on the couch next to a window looking out with hot beverages and good books.. I will get there soon, but not today. We started tiling the bathroom wall yesterday and need to finish it, along with he rest of the house.
This week flew by fast. It included a very quick foliage drive(stopped by a river so the mr could fly fish), Barbara turning 17 while watching her field hockey game, a tiny little baby that fell in love with me and wants me to be it’s new mommy, and the scraping and painting of so much everything. I think the highlight was when the 17 year old Barb stopped by the house to bring us coffee, hung out with us, and lent me her sweater that I love but probably won’t ever get a chance to wear cause all I wear are grubby, paint stained clothes. But none the less, it was great and maybe I’ll just wear the sweater to bed. And the colors. Every time I walk out of the house and see all the trees, all the colors…it just blows my mind. So good.
Other then that, not much else. I am giving myself a political detox for a few days before i barf, eating lots of roasted celeriac and missing my kitchen. I can’t freaking wait to spend all day cooking in baking in my kitchen. I can’t freakin wait!
And now I got to find those pants.
Internet for the looking.

We had ourselves a very full past week. Dinners with the misters family, dinners with mine. Lots of running around for last minutes projects, papers and bills. Mailed in the taxes in (barf) and washed the Washer dog (now he smells like a wet dog with a faint lavender scent… not much better) Then it happened, the most amazing spring day. I spent half the day on Friday trying to remember what it’s like to function in warm weather. I was getting hot and forgot that I could take of my sweater. But it was back to the sweater, hat, and mittens the next day which made me kind of cranky. It actually worked out ok because I didn’t feel bad about hanging inside listening to music , drawing and painting. Oh, and can’t forget to mention the cleaning… lots and lots of cleaning.. and there is still more to be done. All in all, not a bad week.
Some internet bits from the week

-A LIGHT THAT COULD EASE SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER. Not sure if it would really work, but it is a really cool light.
-Where do Babies Come From? A volcano sounds right to me.
-I love everything about this. Michelle Obama’s ‘Evolution Of Mom Dancing’ Is Back With Part 2
-Brilliant! Kids should know how to clean up after themselves. Without Janitors, Students Are In Charge Of Keeping School Shipshape
-I am waiting for this book to come in at the library. FUDS: A Complete Encyclofoodia from Tickling Shrimp to Not Dying in a Restaurant.
And a few real life pictures.
The collection of snow shovels has finally moved to the barn!!!
Sure you can dye eggs, or like me, just melt a bunch of crayon.
I have never seen it before, but all these leaves were melting into the ice. Very weird and very beautiful.
Speaking of weird and beautiful… 
And yes.. I pulled out my sandals for the one day of spring we had this week. It was glorious and amazing. I had forgotten what warm weather felt like.
Hope all you people had a great and lovely week as well.
Happy Day.. Happy Easter.. Happy Happy
