Springy

Yes, it is springtime here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (at least for today). I am working at home because there's no windows in my office and I have lots of windows at my house and it's in the 70's and sunny and gorgeous today.

The picture to the left is a lucky shot (basically shoved my camera below the flower and pressed the magic button) of a flower in my backyard. Things are all starting to bloom, which is so pretty. When I lived in LA, I used to love the smell of night blooming jasmine - that was the smell of spring in LA to me. I haven't really identified a smell here, but after the dark winter, you really do enjoy sunlight and pretty flowers.

I posted some more pictures on my pic site, including lots of friends who came to visit a few weeks ago, some more backyard shots, a lovely new picture of Gus and this...which looks confusing, but actually is underneath my dining room. Apparently my dog has become fond of pulling the insulation off. (And inhaling fiberglass?) Sigh...at least he had the sense to look remorseful when I took his picture this afternoon....
