Spring

There is one season I love-- warm but not humid. In California this is most of the year, but in Virginia that comes out to Spring and Fall. Spring is fantastic-- I love all the green and the beauty and how most of the bugs just haven't made it out of larvae stage yet. Unfortunately, it's also the time of the first invasion of the ants, not to mention the annual "spring cleaning".

With the arrival of the baby soon, and the amassing of stuff that we've been doing over the last two years, we realized how badly we needed more storage. We've pretty much exhausted the available space in the attic (you're not supposed to walk up there, so storage is limited to the immediate area surrounding the door), and our closets are chuck full of volleyballs, volleyball courts, and plyo boxes (the joys of off-season living), and our outdoor closet/shed has been occupied by bags of lime and seed and an old rug Johnathan wasn't certain he wanted to throw away. Solution on a tight budget? Sam's club and a small outdoor storage box. Now the lime and seed and ice chests have a home, and I can actually get to the tools at the back of the shed. Hurray for organization!

Now, it's time for some Southern sweet tea, front-porch sitting, to enjoy today's work!
