Finally! This has been a long and hard seven-days but the end is nigh. I even managed to sleep until nearly six before the dog alarm went off.

Why Jazz is lonesome when he is sleeping with two other congenial dogs is beyond me!

He's not even in a hurry for potty when I come downstairs. I guess it's love.
Despite all the bad stuff this week, I did get things accomplished on my desk and around the house. I had to go through all my old pictures and documents for an Archives project and to dig out family pictures for Shirleyanne's daughter to copy. Sorted out my tax stuff while I was at it. Good to have that done.
Looks like this will be our last really cold day for a while as the temperature is heading up above freezing tomorrow. I see sunshine and even above 50ºF. The melt will bring back Lake Sheridan in the dog yard and Muddy Paw Season 2016 will return. It's a nuisance but sure is a harbinger of Spring.
The sort and pitch project for today is to gather up all my odds and sods of herbs and spices, sort, pitch and repackage. I used to be one of those people who kept herbs and spices in labelled glass jars, alphabetically arranged on special shelves. Then I discovered Bulk Barn and have lots of unlabelled and undated plastic bags. Maybe I'll just throw the hot herbs and spices into a huge pot of "interesting" chili and have a dinner party
So life goes on.
Raising my mug to you all!
