I've never liked spring. In New England, spring is wet and muddy and cold.
But those few weeks before summer fully appeared, when I could finally feel the sun warming my skin--when the summer birds start singing me awake in the morning?
Oh yes.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just got the following message from Cass:
Am in Portland. Am applying shower, fire and wine. Should be human tomorrow.

Yay for Cass! I'm sorry I missed her this weekend.
I have spent the whole afternoon translating old English law things into Modern American Research Assistant.

I just got back from visiting the nephews. We gave the baby a bath, where he splashed me repeatedly, he threw food at me at dinner, and then he tried to bite when I told him he couldn't climb on the dresser for the 20th time in a row. It was a blast! He's the cutest 14 month old ever.

I'm getting the pig!
Perfect spring day? That'd be a year ago next month. Holy carp, can you believe she's 11 months old today?
Which reminds me... we need more pics of the little one. She has such an amazing face.
1) Favorite spring day? All of them. Spring and fall days are the absolute best. In Denver we really only get about five of each but I love them more than chocolate.
2) Something I'm looking forward to.... In the next month? A mini vacation with a bunch of friends at a villa in Akumal, Mexico. Really looking forward to it.

I can't think of a favorite Spring day, and we don't have any special plans to look forward to this month. I should probably change that.

Nicole, that place looks awesome! Take lots of pictures and bring us all back a cabana boy, 'k?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Welcome, Fern! Now that you have delurked, stick around and hang out.

What Ellen said. Looks like a fabulous trip.
