After a long and busy week of single working motherhood it’s finally Friday. And oh so delightfully warm in that sun. It’s nice to see the earth again. Even better to see things springing back to life.

This time of year always inspires me. After walking around surveying the yard and making a mental list of what needs to get done, I went inside and walked upstairs and pushed aside my current to-do pile and quickly whipped up a welcome home present for my dear husband. Amazing how a frustrated, cranky mood can turn around by just spending a few minutes being creative and wandering around in the yard.
