sprung

still have conflicting feelings about winter. sure it makes you particularly grateful for spring but yeeg with the cold. One of the only pros i am a fan of, a particularly strong benefit at that, is the temperatures interrupting the cycle of pests for outdoor gardening. so that's good. found ladybugs in the house from time to time over the winter, primarily the harlequin variety, which seem to be in more abundance than the native species at times. Ladybugs are cool but in the house? Not optimal, although I love bugs so...

anyway spring! yes, yes. Here we go!
