We've had our first Spring visitors!

The golden crocus reaches up
To catch a sunbeam in her cup.
-Walter Crane

About Me

Katie: I have one husband, three children, two cats (and now a dog!) and a house full of too many books to count. I love to read, ride my bike, bake, develop my own photographs, and I've been known to neglect all housework to play with my kids.
