Emerging From Winter

It feels like we're emerging from winter on several fronts:

• Arthur's cast was removed and while it will be quite a while before he can run and jump, it feels good to reach this milestone and see that dark and cold night diminish in the rearview.
• Jamey is over his cough. It took Cheratussin, Albuterol, steroids and amoxicillin, but he made it. From now on, we're seeing the doctor no later than the third day of a cough.
• Heidi has started a copious number and variety of seeds; onions, lavender, tomatoes and more.
• Some plants are emerging outside, including the garlic I planted in November in our raised bed (thanks Kendra and Charlie for sharing the cloves).
  
• More daylight. Woohoo!

The winter has seemed a little rough, especially with the injuries and illness, so I'm grateful for these signs of spring and rejuvenation.
