Hello dear readers,

This past Winter has been a grueling one, long dark, cold and wet. SO WET! I've been working on a variety of projects lately, and I do adore variety. Now that it's Spring again I feel revived by the beauty that has bloomed all over the city. My roses are about to burst open and paint my yard with color.
