hello blackbird, hello starling, WINTER'S OVER, be my darling

Long time coming, but now, the snow is gone!

(I took Quentin to a playground. The sun is out. There are three dwarf irises blooming in my front yard. I think we made it.

And if all goes according to plan, that was the last winter I'll be home with a kid who doesn't at least go to preschool a couple times a week.)
