Sweethearts on the Hill

Tomorrow we set sail for New York City!

To sum it up, it's just plain disgusting outside. So I guess I can't really hold them  responsible for their pitiful presence as of late.  But, I gotta tell ya - when I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours tending to my sweethearts, it's a bit disheart
