The next step...

Well, after over a month of hounding I finally have all of the pieces of the puzzle together. My Essex Rescue application will go in the mail tonight!

In other news, Chris is recovering from hand surgery. He had surgery to repair trigger finger in his right hand (good thing he's left handed). He got the stitches taken out yesterday, but hasn't managed to scrub off the pen marks yet. He had a job interview this morning and reports that it went well, so fingers crossed on that one.

Spring is rapidly coming to the Champlain Valley. Temps in the 60s all week with bright sunny skies. My plants went back outside on Monday, but got a bit nipped by a slight frost overnight. Nothing serious - I think they'll recover.

Spring also finds me back out hitting the pavement - with my running shoes. It seems that every Spring I try to take up running, with little success. Kate has agreed to run with me, and Chris is even talking about joining me. We'll be quite the sight I'm sure, but every little bit of encouragement helps!
