A Touch of Color

Given that it is grey and rainy here (albeit warm), and that apparently many other parts of the country are being hit with very unpleasant weather, I thought it might be nice to showcase some of the small pops of color that are starting to show up in our yard and garden, like the peony buds at right.  That and I've injured my neck and shoulder so I can't actually do anything useful this weekend, like continuing to take down small shrubs and little trees that are cluttering the edges of the yard.  I did some of that on Friday, but by the evening I could barely move my head or right arm, so in hindsight that was not an example of intelligent decision-making.

We were also planning to finish the chalkboard doors (hurrah), but it takes two people to lift and move the glass insert, and I'm about the equivalent of 1/3 of a person at the moment.  I keep grumbling and nagging Nick about it but he's right: it's a two-person job and I'm in no shape to help him, so it will have to wait until next weekend.  Which makes me beyond frustrated, but there's really nothing I can do about it, other than take my painkillers and play with the blog.  That's why the title has been redone, the images are now framed, and the latest posts are using the text-wrapping feature: I'm bored, I've finished watching the entirety of "The West Wing" on Netflix, and I hurt, so to distract myself I am learning new HTML and CSS tricks.  And now I will cheer myself (and hopefully you) up with the aforementioned color.  Enjoy!
