Home for Taxes!

March may be the cruelest month, thanks to the need to shuffle those receipts into reasonable working order for tax day April 15. That fact, along with necessary time to overcome a couple of India's lasting effects encourages me to stay home for the month and plan April's excursion to Amsterdam's tulip explosion, the recently reopened museums there, a stopover in Paris (because I can't help myself), and on to visit Monet's old haunts in Giverny.

Spring arrived while I was gone; Marin has never been lovelier.
