I suppose there is not much you can do for septic pipes...<br />Love the cheerful spring outfit! You have found a great "work at home" look. I need to make more effort with my "work at home" clothing- I dread hearing the doorbell ring! I dress for my regular job, then discard the nice clothing as soon as I walk in the door.

Normally this type of work would not be something I would want to keep my eye on. However in this case, I was glued to the backyard as Hercules was one of the finest specimens of the male species I have ever seen. Given the warm day, he did have to remove his shirt. Oh my!!! I think it is about time for another septic clean, needed or not! Today we had a dusting of snow. I think we are most similar in that we are both, to borrow your description, mockingly optimistic. So we will not let this get us down, Wendy,as we know warmer days will surely come. I like your new sweater too.Teacupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204455460703812488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-12654062923277889992015-03-31T21:36:00.271-03:002015-03-31T21:36:00.271-03:00Oh yuck.

I can't believe all the snow that you still have - but then again, my brother- and sister-in-law in Halifax are still tunnelling their way out of their house. We are at the slushy and dirty stage - not pretty, but necessary, I suppose. <br /><br />I like the look of your chambray pants - must check out our local Superstore.
