yesterday was sunny, 52, balmy wind.  excellent day.  burgers on the grill, pasta salad and cold beer.  did the first yard work of the year, so I’m real sore, but it doesn’t matter.  settled in for an evening in the studio, with the window open, the birds chirping, the kids playing, and of course a heat pack on my aching back after all the yard work, and aforementioned ice cold beer.  ah….I can’t wait for spring to REALLY get here.  it was a most excellent day.
