Today included waking up to a blizzard, driving through middle Wisconsin to get home, and cupcakes. It was a splendid way to kick off February! I’m always intrigued by horology, and this month is a great little oddity in time. It’s only two or three days shorter than other months, but it seems to fly by in a red and pink haze.

Christmas lights are for all the time.

Nothin like some patriotism in the winter months, yeah?

I made you a playlist! It’s got a little old, a little new, some softer tones, and some ruckus to help block out the hype from a certain sporting event in which I have no interest. Have a lovely Groundhog’s Day, everyone!
