I always thrive from an increase in activity in the spring, but this year has been so wet I've been stuck indoors. I'm hoping by this afternoon it will be dry enough that I can mow, at least out front. The back is a huge job that will be mowed in stages.

eBay listings going up today. The first one went live last night. I may make a run down to the village recycle bins this afternoon because there is more cardboard here than I need.

Zeke the chocolate lab found and devoured a brand new bar of olive oil soap in my shower. The rat spent the night out in the garage because I didn't want to hear him salivating from an upset stomach. He'll probably be farting bubbles today. I need to find some kind of soap holder to suspend from the towel rack in each shower to prevent this. Last month he ate a new bar from the back bathroom. He just hops into the tub and grabs it. Grrrrr.
