First back porch sit of the new year.

Oh man, you guys, it is gorgeous out. Still a little cold and quite a bit windy, but the sky is blue and there are birds singing and it might actually be almost spring after all!

I'm on the back deck and the pine trees are swaying and there's cloud shadows sweeping by on the lawn and the wind is making haunty little sounds with the bottle of Dr Pepper I brought out here. I can't tell you how that delights me. All I need is a totoro to wander by.
