Let's Hear it for Mud!

Today the temperature is supposed to reach 75 in Boston, and I couldn't be more pleased. On the phone last night with my husband, I was bemoaning the load of homework I have to do and the yardwork that simply must be done (in particular, rebuilding the front steps, as the home insurer gave us a nasty call this week about them). You must understand that yardwork is, for me, fun time, while homework is blech. Yardwork tempts me to throw off my responsibilities and indulge my need to cover myself in mud. My freckles begin to come out in full force and I revert to my True Age of 8 years old. I LOVE it. I thought perhaps the weather would preclude me from working outside today, thus forcing my energy into my homework, but God has given me a free pass with the 75 degree weather! "Go outside, Christy, you deserve it!" Chester the Dog and I are going to have a lovely afternoon, after which we will do homework. Oooo I am so pleased with today! I may have to take some before and after photos.
