On the way home from work this week, I saw a handful of crows dive bombing a bald eagle in mid-air as it flew towards the sunset, a pigeon on a solo trek to somewhere, and a couple of seagulls having an apparently leisurely flight to Lake Washington.
I like spring, and I really like birdies.
Ahhhhh.

April so far
I can't believe it's been over a month since the last post!
To catch up, here goes....
Paul - my sweet beloved and total weirdo and person who makes me laugh more than I thought possible - turned 45. I think he's actually about 25. Had a nice party where we played 45s (get it? 45 speed records on his 45th birthday? GOLD!)
Gotta say it was a real treat to see so many friends.
My family came to visit and hung out for a week - quite nice to have them here for a bit, though I wish I'd been a little less busy at work and could have taken more time to be with them all.
Spent last weekend scrubbing the back deck and stairs in the rain. They're all covered with your standard dirt/dust/pollen mixture, with the occasional dollop of some green growth, so I decided that the best thing to do was to wait for some rain and give everything a scrub. Kind of therapeutic, actually.
Will attempt to treat the deck this weekend - gotta figure out how and with what. The owner says it's a pain, so I have no idea what to expect, but there are some cans of goo in the shop that might help.
Working with our lender to see if we can buy the house. No idea if we will be able to qualify for anything close to what the owner wants... but I guess that's part of the exciting journey.
No cakes in April, so it's a quieter month. We're both trying to return to a more balanced life and figure out more effective ways of taking care of ourselves.
Last note - spring has definitely sprung, and I'm loving it. Aside from the allergies, all the flowers and trees are so pretty!
