We were busy around the house and didn’t eat dinner until rather late so we observed Earth Hour on California time. David grilled chicken and we ate by candlelight on our patio. Afterwards he got a fire started in the fire pit while I cleaned up the kitchen…again by candlelight. Then we relaxed by the fire…
Springtime, how do I love thee?
