Projects ...

... that are keeping me waaaaayyy too busy:

1) All Things Rowing - besides getting out 4 or 5 times a week, I also decided to rehab an old rowing shell (it's taking longer than I expected):




2) Appliances - need to attach the icemaker for the new fridge but I'm chicken and too cheap; the upstairs toilet wobbles waaaayyyyy too much - especially for a toilet training toddler


3) Bonsai - they are growing like weeds and desperately need a trim. (Hey LG, recognize the pot?)



4) Life/Family - highest priority as expected. The better half, the heir and the spare on the way.



I seriously need more hours in a day ...

Waiting ...

... for spring!

Where the hell are you? I made snowmen yesterday with Peter in the front yard and I may light a fire in my living room fireplace tonight while I work on charts for work.

This is April - that is not right. I'm getting sick of wearing sweaters. And snowboots. And wool hats.





Even my bonsai's are confused; this poor maple and cotoneaster are trying to push out new leaves but the occasional snowstorm and freezing temps are holding them back.

I hear birds chirping every morning. The dock at the boat club has been in for a week and the river has thawed. The yuppie down the street emerged from the Starbuck's last month and didn't see his shadow, so there shouldn't be 6 more weeks of winter.

Mother Nature - wake up!
