One thing that telecommuting allows you to do is be a little productive around the house during lunch breaks.  Lately I have spent my at-home-lunches recording music.  Today I took out some trash, brought the barrels in from outside so that the hungry wild kingdom can’t spill them all over the yard, and I cleaned out the cat’s litter box.  It cannot be said that our Patches is full of shit.  No way.

Anyway, when I walked outside I strolled around to the back of the house to make sure the yard survived the winter and I saw something I’d been seriously hoping to see… longing to see… needing to see.

Color.

Actual color.  Not the drab winter brownish/nothing color, but actual green.

Check it out! There are actual green places in the woods behind the house! Oh Happy Spring!

Oh yeah, and there is also a kitty named Patches.

Spring. It’s here. It’s really here. Granted it’s pretty cold out there right now, but it’s still Spring. Screw you, winter!
