I haven't posted one of these in a while, so... here goes. A few highlights of my entire spring, from snow to green leaves.
Set to... hmm... Maluma is probably who I listen to most year-round, but especially this spring

We had probably one of the easiest winters of my life overall. Quite mild, very little snow. But it did linger, of course. This was one of the last dumps in March.
It quickly melted.
One of my fave books this spring was this one:
She's practically a poet. A couple of my faves:
“Every now and again the voices of people passing by outside catapult odd words into the room, severed from sense, small bubbles of sound released into the silence.”
“She is filled by an old, familiar urge, like water gushing into a dry streambed.”
Then it started to warm up.
I had a bit too much fun painting my fave international/local drag queens lol
Russia - one of a handful of Slavic rump countries whose entire identity is denying its neighbours have ever existed or have the right to exist - decided to invade Ukraine, a separate entity since the days of Kievan Rus.
I did a lot of laundry...
Finally decided to brave adding a Monstera to my growing houseplant family...
We ate outside with one of our traditional mussel/lobster boils on Mother's Day. (An aside, I definitely am trash at a genetic level. My parents love lobster tails, which is the part you're supposed to like... I can't stand it. It's like chewing flavourless rubber. I love the ginger, green paste, cream in the body. And the little legs are like a dessert, so sweet, you chew on them to push the meat out. And the big claws and, especially, the knuckles, are my absolute fave. There's no finer seafood - except the tuna taco at Adelaide Oyster House, that's a therapeutic experience.)
And downtown started getting all dolled up for spring.
It got cold again.
It warmed up and we enjoyed a great hike from Portugal Cove to Bauline.
And the May long weekend was exceptionally gorgeous - uncomfortably hot in my backyard for pizza while the downhill neighbour serenaded us.
Past few days it's been sunny and cold.
That's it, b'y. Bring on summer!
