I think this might be the week. The week were I take off the down comforter from the bed, wash all of my winter hats and mittens and pack them away, and stick the snow shovels back uderneath the back porch. After this past week of warmish spring weather I am calling it. I am now pretty much officially over winter. Bring on the sandals, the open windows, the leaving the house with our layer after layer! Every year I forget how much I love spring until we get a little spring weather and then I remember how glorious it is. Don’t get me wrong, I have lived in VT my whole life and know that there is bound to be at least one more snow storm but whatever, it won’t last long so pack up winter I will and into spring mode I go!
So a good week weather wise. And life wise it wasn’t bad either. The mr and I got out of town and checked out some land (no go). We voted like good citizens then got rid of the Christmas tree that had been frozen in the front lawn for the past 3 months. I went to the dentist and received all the praise for very clean teeth and walked out with lots of free dental floss because I floss A LOT. Went for lots of walks whenever I could. Went over to have dinner at moms. Spent a good amount of time in the studios. Picked up farm share and almost got the car stuck in a mud pit but didn’t so that was a win. And I replaced the nasty ass shower curtains in the shower. Plus good on me, I even made a dent in the pile of paperwork I am currently going thought for the taxes. I have been so productive and accomplished. Its a great feeling. I owe it all to the windows being open and all the fresh air. And coffee. I have been drinking a shit ton of coffee this week but I guess what’s new?
Oh an I almost forgot, my website to buy pottery is up!!!!! Started small and simple so there are only a few mugs up as of now, but I am planning on doing a big shop update with lots more in the next few weeks. Until then, at least it exists for real now. And if you need a mug, go here. stem+node.
Today I am going to try not to think to much about what time it is because daylight savings (did you remember that?). Every year I do it, play that game about how yesterday it was an hour earlier and what time is it really when I need to just forget about it and adjust accordingly. It’s just hard when your body is on one schedule and your brain is on another. But other then that, just going to stop in and hang with the little for a bit, maybe go for a nice long walk, and then do some chores that need doing that I am not looking forward to. Or not. I might just skip that last part and sit on the front porch and read all afternoon…. Tough call here but I have a feeling the porch might win out, at least for some portion of that day.

What’s the Point of Panic Shopping? I am slightly shocked at how worked up some people seem to be about having months of food on hand. I figured everyone would just order all their food and stuff form amazon like usual.
