Update

It was ABSOLUTELY beautiful here this weekend (almost 70F). I think I need to paint it vividly in my mind, so that when it's 100+ this summer with 80-90% humidity, I'll be able to remember this lovely spring days. So the hubs and I did a little yard work. I think we spent about 6 hours or so out in the jungle called our backyard, and although you may not be able to tell, I think it looks so much better!! I took some pictures that I will post soon (my bed is calling my name!), but I wanted to post a little something tonight. I also did a little project that I'm excited to share with y'all.

I am REALLY excited for spring. This semester has been so busy; I haven't had much time to enjoy it. However, my lab is done, and I'm hoping to get things all ordered before Spring Break.

For those of you wondering, the squirrels aren't really bothering us too badly right now. (I should probably be careful with what I say.) Charlie does a good job keeping them away.

Unfortunately, our next door neighbors lost their house in a foreclosure just after the New Year. So sad. Over the past few weeks, they (the Realtor, I assume) has been working hard to fix it up to sell it. They painted the inside, redid the kitchen, and painted the exterior a lovely bright yellow. I'm not really certain what they were thinking. Likely, they weren't. Don't get me wrong I love yellow, but on your house? I'll show you a picture, and you can decide for yourself.

My birthday continues to sneak up. I'll be an old lady before we all know it.

Oh, and for those of you wondering about Wine Friday....  I've really been struggling to stay up past 7:30 on Friday nights, let alone have a glass of wine. However, you can definitely count on something good the next few weeks. I promise. None of this falling asleep on the couch BS.
