I Adore Simple Days

 

This week has been filled with a considerable amount of positive energy. My wife is officially on the first shift. After over 4 years. That's a pretty big deal. 

We Are Determined To Have A Vegetable Garden This Year

This Winter has been. Well. Weird. In fact, I am fairly certain that we broke weather recorded history. For the least amount of snow during the Winter season. We got a few inches here and there. But. It didn't amount to anything and melted the following day.

I Needed These Mugs Today

 

Lisa knows that I have been struggling lately in the Bodacious DIY Dog Mom Workshop. It's the battle of emotions. On one side, I am excited about our Bodacious Birdhouses coming to life. On the other side, working on the pieces for our Rainbow Bridge Memorial Garden has been quite emotional.
