I'm wearing shorts on the first day of March! Not the best idea, but man does it feel good :) Spring is just around the corner and it's a wonderful feeling when we can start to leave the door open and get fresh air in here...and you know you secretly love it when cookie smells waft out into the sidewalk before you even step inside! My cat even got to enjoy the luxury of basking on the open windowsill yesterday, and I trust him a lot more than that seedy looking groundhog.

Spring is all about breathing new life into things: baby animals, flowers, even people's moods. It's a time to get excited about being alive and enjoying the simple pleasures that come along with shedding the heaviness of winter. I love seeing Squirrel Hill come out of hibernation every year, when the whole neighborhood wakes up and rememebers how many cool things there are to do nearby. I decided that I wanted to try something new to celebrate this feeling so I'm taking a knitting class with a friend, and I think everyone should channel the revitalizing energy of spring by learning new things, or going exploring (or trying something that you've always wanted to do but were always too scared to)! You could even experiment with some of our mixes and whip up an awesome GF treat for your friends! The mission, if you choose to accept it, is sure to be fun :) Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 65 degrees and I'm going to wear shorts again no matter what, just because I love this feeling.
