Hi, boos! I’m tired! I bet you’re tired too! But listen: every day for fourteen days, I have gone for a (responsibly distanced, solo) walk, and every day for fourteen days, I have watched spring wake up so many different, perfect wildflowers in the pastures near my house. I’ve watched big, bright, fluffy clouds roll in, and I’ve stood there long enough to watch them roll back out again, headed for the mountains. And those things aren’t a lot, but some days, they’re enough.
(Plus, I am now the proud owner of a puzzle called CAT ZODIAC!)
I hope you’re well today. I’m glad we’re here together.

Hi QG – I love the word picture you painted about spring. I’ve also been enjoying the signs of spring on my daily waliks
thank you, cleo! i’m glad you’ve been able to walk too! sending lots of care and well-being vibes your way <3 <3 <3
We’re strongly discouraged from going out for anything but essentials. So there’s a shortage of flour now LOL ! Everyone’s staying home making bread. I knead you, they say.
Germany‘s yeast association put out a press release stating that we shouldn’t worry, there’s enough yeast, they just did not anticipate the demand when stocking the shelves.
I hope someone gets the handful of German cliches wrapped up in that situation.

The Rapper’s Wrapping Award: applause
HI CARMS
How many Rappers Wrapping ? I figure there are eight. Eight Rappers Wrapping.
QG your view of Spring is so encouraging ! I heard a rumour that crocusses are starting to poke their heads out. And I _did_ see a spider in my screen door, so, something is definitely un-freezing. Hope !
I am so thankful for the beginning of spring! I have been foraging salads from my yard of henbit, violets, and a few dandelion greens. My kids have also helped me plant peas, lettuce, and spinach, as well as transplant some strawberry plants! Our next plan is a chicken coop for our backyard.
