The weekend left me feeling relaxed and renewed, and for that, I am grateful.

Saturday included a beautiful early afternoon run around the duck pond, followed by an impromptu trip to the library. A little bit of household organizing and assorted projects were attended to before I tested my luck at baking homemade bread late in the afternoon: I succeeded, it was incredible, and we ate the entire loaf for dinner, accompanied by sweet cream butter and assorted meats and cheeses. (No photos were taken, but I will be turning this into a regular weekend routine). We also watched two documentaries, including Freakonomics, which mirrored the book and made for some excellent late-night introspection.

We woke up to rain on Sunday, and spent the day balancing work with rest. I filed my taxes, read, and made headway on my teaching portfolio. There's something incredibly calming and cozy about a Sunday rain.

As these final days of winter give way to spring, I'm enjoying the sense of possibility that seems to be permeating. The coming weeks will be busy, but I feel ready. Things are good.

How's life treating you, my sweet readers?
