It has been a couple weeks since my last post. Sorry about that. I’ve been very busy at work, and while it’s not an excuse, it’s my justification for not writing. When I was doing my 365 Photos project, I was neurotic about posting every day; one of my goals this year was to be nice to myself, and I can only be neurotic about so many things. Sometimes Emily and I just have to watch Mad Men. (And sometimes I just have to grade essays.)

Anyway. The theme of today’s post is, believe or not, NOT me making excuses. No, it’s about spring. This week has been getting warmer by the day and I think it might be here to stay this time. At any rate, the flowers in my yard are blooming. I hope the same is true for you, wherever you are!
