man and woman at work, muddy, grand kidlets, and buds

1 He is power washing the driveway and patios while I start packing up our office. The books are heavy, clothing is light. It's a good combination.
1a His gear and face are covered in mud so when he smiles his teeth seem extra white and even if I didn't want to smile, I do.
2  Each time I lift the cup of coffee to sip, a little face comes into view. The mug is my Grama Christmas mug and it's covered with photos of the grand kidlets.
3 There are buds everywhere on almost every plant. Crocus and tulips are peeking up through the soil. I'm wondering where the rabbits are this year. Usually by now they've had at least one feast.
