and now 7 things about myself that you might not know:

• I have always driven a stick shift car (except for a mini-van I once had for a couple of years)
• I'm addicted to puzzles (sudoku and crossword puzzles mostly)
• When I have a newspaper I always read the obituaries (I read the news too)
• I used to be a Republican (sorry)
• I was badly bullied as a kid - but now all those bully kids like me for some reason (I help out at school with at-risk kids)
• I have wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember (but also wanted to be a nurse because I knew I would need a "real" job to stay alive)
• I can't stand Christmas (it's complicated)

tea and spring

I have a new bike :)

and I rode it to the bakery for tea

it must be spring!!!!

and look at all the flowers in bloom!

we've had a very mild winter and an early spring this year in Western Washington

I wonder if we'll have another scorching summer?

Oh well ....
