Spring is here!

I know, it's been here for like a month already.  But it's finally starting to feel like it:

(1) Thunderstorms.  Check.
(2) Several pregnant friends and even several births within the last few weeks.  Check.
(3) The urge to spring clean and open the windows.  Check.  (Well, the urge is there, but I'm still in the process of actually doing it...spring cleaning this year will also involve getting rid of major furniture and selling off whatever we don't want to move to our new apartment, as well as the usual cleaning out of clutter and cleaning the whole place top-to-bottom.)

Next up will be a cookout at my sister's, and starting long walks with Obi again (I just can't bring myself to do it when it's cold!).  Then planting my hanging herb garden.  Then picnicking and buying fresh flowers and getting ready for a big summer!  WOOHOO!
