Spring has sprung…

…or some other equally cliched phrase?

so it is officially spring and it’s awesome. Ok, it was really cold and windy today, but we DID have a great BBQ/potluck this weekend and it was lovely (pics on my flickr if you’re interested). We were able to sit on the deck and have a fire in the ‘pit and it was an all-around good time. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, I know I did!
