hi.
this is a good morning.
there's a little bit of sun...not much, and not warming, but even so. it lifts the mood.
all of the big girls went off to school. we've been having some trouble with one of them in that department, but she finally went, too.
there was some leftover broccoli rabe to put in my omelet. fantastic.
tim clipped some branches from the downed lilac and put them on the table for me. there are a few buds, so maybe we'll force a bloom or two.
there's a group of youngish parents walking by our house. i don't know them, but they have several little babies and toddlers and they are all laughing. it's such a happy scene, all of a sudden, playing out in front of my window.
anna keeps drawing and drawing, picture after picture: houses and trees and smiling girls and cats with long tails and sunshiney blue skies. i'm so comforted by her view of the world.
i'm daydreaming of wearing spring clothes and my new shoes. i know it's too soon for that, but it's a nice thing to look forward to.
and this weekend might warm up a bit around here. maybe enough for some clean-up in the yard. tim and i are talking about what we might plant this year. he said something about broccoli rabe.

best wishes for a warm happy weekend in your part of the world.
