  2. We've had so much upheaval since the latter part of last year, that we've had to reevaluate our need for things, both metaphorically and literally...things.
    Small changes for the better, a beautiful Spring, waterfalls, spear points found, peony buds(hopefully not killed by the 2 day freeze we're having), my first blue egg from my new chickens...better things I think.
    Have a great week.
