we're being beaten up by the weather

which can't seem to decide if it's early spring, or early winter.

In short, after a couple of weeks of summer, the weather has return to a more seasonable rhythm, which is wreaking havoc on all the budding trees and shrubs around cold comfort. it's pretty hard to watch actually.

The robins are here, and they are finding some stuff to eat, but I can tell, it's not as much as they'd like. The finches are here, and it appears as if they are completely dependent on our feeder, as the stuff they would normally eat, isn't yet available.

So, that's the news from the backyard.

In the house, this horror continues:



and there really isn't much to say about that. it's still going on. I'm about done messing with it though, and am willing to accept it as is at this point. Folks tell me that first coat of pain will go on,and I'll be back to patching and sanding again. Me, I'm not so sure. Time well tell, always does.

She's been going through a lot, very busy with family and professional matters. Too much so. But that's part of this spring as well. Just how it is. So, she came up last weekend, and we decided to take a small vacation instead of meekly trying to move the ball forward. It was a much needed break indeed.

From our private backyard, into the shared backyard, we took a little walk:











and a fine time was had by all.
