My pal Krissie lives up in Vermont, and it’s still snowing up there. I’d be nuts by now if I were her, I almost didn’t make it to April down here. It’s balmy every day now, often with rain, and the bulbs are up and the trees are in bloom–there are trees on the way to our shopping center that are absolutely loaded with white blossoms and they’re gorgeous–and the breeze is soft, and of course I’m inside trying to write a book, but I know the world is warming up out there, and that makes me happy.

What warmed you with happiness this week?
