frustrated bird

Lately I have felt like this snowbound robin kicking the drifts in my backyard must feel.

Cabin fever.

Luckily the sun's shining and the forecast says 68 -- SIXTYEIGHT! -- saturday, so maybe spring is finally around the corner.

i got quite a bit of quilting done this winter, but i forgot to take any pictures of it.

christmas tree stripped and burnt.  too hot now for the woodboiler, too stubborn to burn propane.  perfect time for a few days vacation back into the city, where libraries have not only wireless internet but also electrical outlets.  i'm not going home until i've spent more than $2 for a cup of coffee and eaten too much pad thai.
