Pittsburgh for the weekend, celebrating my 32nd birthday and Easter.

Because it was my birthday yesterday and Easter today, I went home to visit the family and have a nice ham dinner. Things were like as they've always been.

I drove over to pick up Pap and Gma to bring them to Aunt Pat's, where we'd have dinner. I ran around back to take a few photos while they packed into the car before chauffering them.

It doesn't look like a promising growing season ahead. Pap's tired, old and tired of being old. The strength of his legs and his will to plant seem to be wilting. I wish I could in some way help here, or contribute, or act like I'm not off in NYC on a completely different path.
