Welcome back. This time we’re colliding letters to young creators, the ingenious aluminum can, Dollar Tree trees, weather and a different framework for work.

## New at HQ

*in Greenville, SC*

Here’s an update on Pathwright from Paul:

We've just completed a big behind-the-scenes foundational database upgrade for Blocks, and it's opening up new possibilities we've wanted to build for a long time. While you won't notice anything new right away (perhaps just faster load times), some things that simply weren't feasible before — like pulling learner answers into reports or customizing Blocks for specific cohorts — are now on the table.

We have even more on our list, but we'd love to hear from you. **What's your top wishlist item for Blocks?** Just reply and let us know.

Spring may officially be a week and a half away, but my yard already needs mowing. Only the beginning, this.

Soon I’ll be replacing rotten boards in my deck, clearing gutters, re-stoning walkways, etc. I’m not bummed. I’m looking forward to tangible, completable tasks. I’ll be grounded because it’s mostly to do with the actual ground, getting plenty of sunshine, and leaving my screens indoors where they belong.

After winter, I’m a bit wilted. But my spirit’s foliage will tilt upward in no time.

High five,
