Here’s how you tell it’s a “normal” Feb. Friday in TN: my son is here working, there’s a new challah by E, it’s still raining with no letup in sight, spring bulb flowers are taking over the whole lawn, Misu is bored to death staring out at the rain, my veg and wildflower seedlings are on stilts, and I’m so housebound, I even made cupcakes.  The yard is turning into a swamp; it’s squishy when you try to walk anywhere.  I guess it beats freezing to death.

I was actually too busy yesterday to post, so this one will have to do.
