5 Good Things About Today

1) Walking to work, in a short-sleeved shirt, and feeling the sun and the breeze against my skin.

2) Paying attention on the walk, and noticing about a thousand different shades and colors of flowers and trees blooming everywhere - crocuses, and daffodils, and weeping cherry trees, and maple trees, and others that I don't even know the names for.

3) A random crossing guard stopping me in the middle of the street to tell me my hair was gorgeous.

4) aries_walker and usernamenumber, for being generally good people and helping when they don't have to.

5) Homemade sourdough bread, the first loaf from my own starter, toasted for breakfast this morning.

Raffle - Tickets For Sale

All righty - by now, you all know that tpau and I are doing the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer Research. And that we need to raise a pretty penny to be part of this.

As part of our fundraising, we're hosting a Crafts Fair and Bake Sale at Camelot Cohousing in Berlin, MA on Saturday, April 24th. And you should all be there (well, at least those of you reading this who live within reasonable driving time); it'll be fun and it's a good cause.

There's also going to be a raffle at the Fair. And for those of you who can't make it to the event, or who just want to be ahead of the curve, I'm selling raffle tickets here and now. So if you're interested, here's the list of raffle prizes, and details about tickets....
