nesting!

No better way to start spring than finding a fresh nest by my door.
This bird used ribbons and weeds from the garden I pulled yesterday. Happy spring!

april is...

So the countdown is on until the show opens and I (sort of) get my life back.

Been contemplating many things lately but have no idea how to articulate them...
the weather promises to be in the 70s this week finally and that will help with moodiness. It has been an extremely long winter.

I often wonder why people come into my life and the circumstances with which they leave. I am usually sad if the departure has to do with me. I ask myself what is it that brings me joy and happiness. Most of the time it involves activities of solitude and challenge. This includes big projects that end with a tangible and visual product. Most of the time another person is not part of my list of joy seeking. In fact, quite the contrary. I wonder why that is so?

I do like people. I enjoy the company of others for the most part.
I suppose I just like to make my own decisions and follow my own clock.

So spring is awakening in my sleepy town. My girl turns 5 in about a week.

If you are reading this page and have had some place in my life--be it past or present--thanks. I think of you and hope all is well.

The best thing I have heard lately--is that I smell like Germany. That's nice.
Now off to pick daffodils.
Ciao.
