I Want to Be as Thoughtful as My Husband

First some photos, then the explanation.

"Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather. I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast. I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs. For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
