People love summer here. Where I come from, summer was accepted as a necessary evil but avoided if necessary. People got really excited about spring (Spring Break, anyone?) instead.

Despite my madness induced break, I’ve been steadily working, a few stitches here and there when I can fit them in, and have made excellent progress.
