Budding.

We are home again. I am a traveler. I love going to other places. I love visiting friends and family. But arriving home safely, with our kitties eagerly greeting us (hah!) and a fresh outlook can’t be beat.

And the buds are out. I will be watching them daily, welcoming the season. That, and baseball, must mean winter is over. (Did you hear that, Mother Nature? Be kind.)

There are more Animal Crackers here, too. Days 22-24.

Lester, Day 22.

Anthony. Day 23.

Javy, Day 24. PS, Crack is from parking lot at the Cubs-Padres spring training game. Never miss an opportunity to catch a good crack or two.
