Spring Moonrise

It was bitter cold for a time in December and January but in the last two weeks we have woken up to light rain, partly cloudy skies, and a beautiful, if far removed, sun. If I believed in them, I might almost consider sacrificing my first born in thanks to the weather gods for this remarkable reprieve. I can throw open the windows in the house for a few minutes and hear the pattering of rain and the calling of birds. The flowers are coming up, confused as to what month it is. I think I'm getting confused too. This should either make for a remarkable end of winter or a disappointing return to more "normal" weather.

I'm a girly girl. Right.
Shopping List

Hardwood, biscuit planer (however you spell that in English, mine is in German), stain (nussbaum), Chop Saw, collapsible table, wood glue, spare wood for the top of the table. Carried home on a bus, on a back, and on foot with much love and labor.

In which I remember why I became a mother
Mr. Furious: Do you know what my favorite part of Bam-Bam is that is connected to his body?

Me: No, what?

Mr. Furious: His eyes.

Me: Do you know what my favorite part of Mr. Furious is that is connected to his body?

Mr. Furious: My heart.

Yes. Indeed.
