Sprung

At least I think Spring has sprung. Of course, there was frost on the grass and rooftops this morning, and we have two more of those mornings in the forecast. But I did do some significant yardwork yesterday, clearing the winter debris and die-off from the front yard. I also did the early Spring fertilizing on the lawns. Also accomplished: not too damn much. I finished playing Bioshock Infinite, which was fun, even though I saw the ending coming from about a million miles away. Fun game, good story.

What is it? What is it? What would *you* use it for? No, NOT for skinning a cat... It's almost certainly more boring than you can imagine. Now, here's Lexi, curled up on as much girly afghan as she can find: And for Jen, who hasn't seen Lexi in a while: This mutt LOVES crawling up inside our coats when the weather starts getting cold!
