*Looks back at the last time I checked in here, or even posted to Instagram before this week…*

Well, it’s sure been awhile. I don’t know if it’s worth going into a full deep dive of what we’ve been up to over the past few months, but suffice to say we’ve kept busy. I celebrated a full year in my position with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We’ve mustered up the energy to start with small house projects again. We’ve had wonderful dinners out and drinks with friends. Our bikes went in for full tune-ups in advance of the riding season. More plants were added to our yard and garden. I’ve been busy at the pottery studio creating pieces for a couple of wood firings coming up this summer. We purchased plane tickets to France for August (Paris and then the Cote d’Azur). We visited Chicago for a night to see comedian Fern Brady. We celebrated a robin that laid eggs in a nest she built on our back deck (and then mourned when a crow nabbed two of her three offspring). We had the “pleasure” of purchasing a new hot water heater to replace the 30-year-old one that started leaking, which kicked off an organization project in the basement. Two annual highlights began: bocce ball and rhubarb season. And here we are, on May 20, hoping to reconnect in this space.

It’s nice to be back.
