Spring. Really.

Beautiful, warm, breezy day today. EVERYONE in southern Maine is outside doing something. Windows are all open. I did a short walk to Back Cove along Baxter Blvd, saw a lovely Great Blue Heron, lots of Mallards, and lots of happy Portlanders. Unfortunately, Annelle didn't get to join me. She's at work taking care of things that need to get tied up before she leaves. I don't feel so bad for her though- she has the whole summer to enjoy the outdoors anytime she takes a notion.

Things in C5 are looking up too. Laundry room/downstairs powder room is done-ish. At least for now. It's organized and we can do laundry without searching for things. This is an improvement.

Drew (that great American) came over yesterday to help with demo of the upstairs vanity. I had reached an impasse in the strength department. The first part was so easy. Who knew the frame was in there so well? A few oomphs and we had it done though. Once the flooring is in we will probably have to have someone build something as we discovered it's a non-standard depth to the door. Unanticipated, but solvable, just not at any of the usual building stores.

Now that doors and windows are open, Jack is starting to meet the feline neighbors. Lots of hissing going on at the moment. I have the water bottle ready should things get out of hand. I'm a little surprised there are so many outdoor cats here. Jack is a roamer (even though he's such a scaredy cat) and I wouldn't trust him if he decided to head towards Forest.

A few more short projects ahead for me today on this day-that-can't-be-beat.
