happy new year!

happy new year, blogspot!

today, i raked the pine needles and other muck off our sloping driveway. came home from class, stopped at the bottom of the driveway to pick up the mail, and spun some wheelies trying to start up the hill. so i decided it was a good idea to get the rake out. i was out there at about 4:30pm and it was a little nippy...but it felt good to be outdoors, exercising, breathing in the fresh, crisp, rainwashed air...inhaling the fresh scent of pine needles. i actually filled up the sticks and twigs bin!
