Friday in Florida
First, let me say that today, March 6th, the weather is crazy warm and wonderful and I'm going to go for a run in a minute. Yes, it's too warm for this time of year, but it's also completely awesome. It also makes me want to rush outside and plunge into the myriad amounts of yard work that needs to be done. But I won't. It can wait.

Happy new year…
Well...a new year. Here we are. Where did December go, you ask? Not entirely sure. Anyway, here's a dazzling photo of the sunrise way back on Dec. 22nd. I'm pretty sure Kevin must have taken the...
Lovely times in November
Well...so much snow since I was last here. It was about a foot. It warmed up enough so it's pretty much gone except for the giant piles in parking lots, but there's more snow expected late...
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope yours is going well, or maybe it's all done...I'm in charge of turkey breast, whole wheat rolls, pumpkin pies, plus I just made a salad for Kevin because he doesn't like green bean casserole....
