After what certainly feels like the worst and longest winter in recorded history (including the ice storm of 1993 or whenever that was, in which we had no electricity for a week and nearly my whole extended family came to stay at our house) I am seeing signs that spring might actually, finally be here. Might. Don't think about it too hard and jinx it.
Can I get a witness:
And introducing, for the very first time in my back yard...these!
This color delights me so! I can't wait to see my big, beautiful peonies! Right now they are just small red spears sticking out of the ground. But, when they start to grow, things happen fast! Hopefully this year my lilac will bloom. That's never happened yet in the three years that I've had it. It seems so enthusiastic this year. Trying to be the first to have real leaves. Come on little guy, I believe in you!
In other news we went to that church sale last week. By all accounts it sucked. But, it was their bag sale day and we got a large bag of stuff for $3. I ended up with 4 small white plastic Christmas bells on pipe cleaners...covered in glitter. Mom got some clothes for her man, Alicia got a comfy gray sweater, Vig (Side note: New friend Sarah needs a nickname. Her last name is Vigoren so I've been throwing around "Vig" but I also really like "OS", pronounced OZ which stands for Other Sarah. But that is kinda mean, I guess. But OS sounds cooler than Vig. Anyone care to put it to a vote?) Anyway, OS got some...interesting sweatshirts, a pair of socks, if I'm not mistaken and a ashtray with a mallard duck on it to catch coins and such. HB ended up with a very cool cake plate with lid that will fit one of her very tall, very layered, very delicious cakes. I can't remember what else. I have to get better at documenting this stuff, stat! The giant rainbow is for OS & Andrew's hallway of heinous art. You are jealous, just admit it.
OK, I'm done anthropomorphizing plants for the moment.

Other Sarah seems appropriate for a friend of yours, also named Sarah, since I was always the Other Girl. Just sayin. =)
