Springing Forward

This morning the wife wondered out loud (WOL) what got into her when she made the decision to bring home a new pup (now named McKinsey --- or Kinzie for short).  You see, for the upteenth night in a row Wifey has to rise and shine early to meet the yelping/whining needs of Kinzie.  This morning it was 2:30 a.m. which has to be the earliest of the lot.

Once Kinzie had time outside to do her duty it was back to the crate to polish off a night's sleep.  Wifey, on the other hand, remained up to do this, do that and tidy up the kitchen following last night's dinner party for 7.  Then life sprung forward by an hour thus cheating her out of a precious 60 minutes of snooze time.  Yawn.

Kinzie's a great little pup with lots to learn.  Wifey is a great little spouse with lots to learn, too.  Like all that puppy cuteness comes with a personal price to pay.  It ain't all roses.

Speaking of flowers, here's a lovely specimen growing outside the kitchen window as snapped by Wifey yesterday afternoon.  Like it or not, Spring has sprung time and weather wise.  Time to get that six pak of abs in shape for summer fun. . .. ya think?
