Happy Spring! Oh, violets! *imagines the smell* Ours here are yellow, and they bloom later in the spring, last week of March or first of April, on the ridgetops.

I need that hike. Thanks for reminding me.

Woke up feeling a little bit blue this morning. Not sure why, really - probably just me still being tired from all the travelling yesterday...
I get this after airplane rides as well, but I *love* to travel by plane! I'm pretty sure it's related to the immune system ramping up to fight off the various bugs encountered in the enclosed air of the flying tin can. I usually beat them, but I feel like life is pointless and hopeless for a day or two, until I get them all driven off.

*hugs*

Let your mother deal with seeing the mess, for once. Life's been too hectic, and when you were a little one, did she need to jet off to Switzerland for meetings, and still keep a neat house? I simply don't know how you manage, my dear!
