...and yet the cold lingers. *snorfle*

The earl grey marshmallows were tasty in the white hot chocolate, but it was all a bit too sweet. I'm usually against the tea-and-chocolate combination, but I may have to try it with a darker chocolate for this reason. You can't really taste the tea per se anyhow, so.

Last night the pizza delivery person had effusive praise for my rustic ee cummings garden sign. Apparently she had been admiring it for some time; she said that last summer, she actually doubled back in the cul-de-sac and got out to look at it. A nice bit of random praise for my evening. The sign is at this point totally faded, barely readable...will have to see if spring will bring renewal.
