Muddling and mending into spring.

On my way to work this morning I heard the seagulls. Rejoice! This is good news. Spring is on the way. My body is in resting mode this afternoon. I am making soup. Recipe is separate from this post so you can find it.  The soup is the mending part. Muddling? I've been muddling into spring. One step forward - clean something or organize, maybe take out a cooler jacket. Wham! One step backward - parka back on and retreat into comforter with a good book. I'd like to get on with it. It isn't happening yet. I'm okay with that. I suppose.
