Seasons are still a thrilling novelty for me. Several months ago I was taking photos of ice covering this same tree that is now fullly blooming in the afternoon sun.

I must replenish the coffee stores, lest mine attention turn fallow in the meetings upon this morn!

This photo is a stand-in for an insightfully funny, but relatable, post about how my kid learning to drive is great but also filling me with a parental terror I thought I’d managed within myself but obviously haven’t.

The Sad Ballad of Captain Keeves

There once was a captain who had skin like the sea

He came to meet creatures who hailed from the land
And convinced them to join him as a sea-fairing band.

All the windows are open to let in the sweet smell of spring.

Enjoying the quiet of the morning before everything begins.

The weather was so nice, we thought we’d go out and try a new pizza place.

Out enjoying the sun and warmer weather. Love seeing the trees are happy too.

Today marks my 100th consecutive day writing to my personal journal. Thrilling as this is higher than I’ve managed previously.
