I Think Everyone is Ready for Spring

 I know I am ready for Spring!  I may curse us, but we have made it thru today with no snow and ice.  We were very cold for Christmas and then have sort of mellowed out.  We are now having a couple of days of 70ish and then cold for me at the Compost Table at the Farmer's Market (come on Mother Nature!!!).  But here is a sign of Spring:

Tete e Tete (tiny) daffodils in our front yard

Cherry blossoms on the way to work

For my Saturday project, I took all the broken gates, Amy's broken printer and two boxes of big jell packs that make great cooler ice to the  Salvage Shed at the Chapel Hill Waste and Recycling Center.  My new favorite place!!!!!



Then home to do nothing since I completed my projects for the day.  Loki is here at my feet because he thinks proximity will encourage me to feed him.  Boy is he wrong.

And, congratulations to Jane!!!! She starts her new job on Monday!!! She will be the Lead Animal Caretaker at a farm animal rescue!.  She will be working for the Jameson Animal Resue Ranch in Napa County.  This is right up her alley!

That is about all that is going on.  Much love to everyone!!!

Jane's Trip Home

 Jane decided to drive home to Novato.  She planned out the entire trip and where she was going to stop.  And had places where she planned to visit.  Because I am a Nervous Nellie of an Aunt, I called David Whitehead in Memphis and Heather McKinney Peacock in Phoenix so Jane could use them if ANYTHING happened!!!!  And, of course, nothing did.

Jane's Route

Her first stop was Knoxville, TN.  Then off to Little Rock, Arkansas where she visited the Botanical Gardens.






And she visited The Little Rock Central High School National Historical Site.





Then off to Oklahoma City and then to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  She stopped for two days in Santa Fe and saw the Georgia O'Keefe Museum.











Then off to Barstow and then home to Novato, California.  

What an amazing trip!!! I have always wanted to drive across the country!

Love,
Leslie
