I'm declaring that it's Spring. There are Flicker's pecking holes in my work building (which is apparently made of Styrofoam) preparing to build nests. On my drive to Casper I saw lambs and calves. I even heard my first Meadowlark singing. Before I know it there will be Robins bouncing around looking for worms and bugs and such. It's pretty amazing. I thought we would get more snow this winter but there's still a chance we'll have one...or maybe five more snow storms before it's summer. But there will be more and more sunlight and chances for walks in the park, bike rides or even hiking. One exciting thing to look forward to this summer is the much-anticipated release of George R.R. Martin's book, A Dance with Dragons that is scheduled to come out on July 12th. I am soooo excited. I'm also excited to see the new TV series, Game of Thrones. Sometimes I wish I hadn't read the book so that I could see everything so new and shiny and not know what will happen at the end. But yay for good books!!
And also, yay for 50% off on books. Today I am visiting Boulder where Borders is selling their books for 50%. I'm sad that soon there will be no more Borders stores but I was so excited to get some good deals. I found Alexander Dumas' The Last Cavalier, Octavia E. Butler's Seed to Harvest, Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince and John Ajvide Lindqvist's Handling the Undead. I'm very delighted about my finds.
In other crafty news, this evening I spent about two to three hours taking apart Nerf guns as well as sanding and painting them to make them look like Steampunk guns. I have a ways to go to paint them but I can't wait to see the end product.
