A Fabruary Day*

Yesterday I saw dirt in our yard for the first time in weeks. Close to a month, maybe.

Today was Jack's 21st birthday, and, of course, Fat Tuesday--better known as Mardi Gras. We had a family party, and decorated the house with streamers and balloons and Mardi Gras masks, and it was pretty great. Chloe and I have been painting, I painted a card for Jack, and then worked a little on the calendar for David. Most of these aren't finished, but here are some pictures of what I've done so far.
