Springtime a Ring-a-ding time

It really truly has felt like a spring season outdoors these past couple of days. I didn't think she was ever going to arrive. The yard is a mess, needs raking and sorting.. The barn as well, it seems from October through April we just love to heave whatever into her, whatever it may be. The whole family is at fault here too. So I have been trying to muster the motivation to clean the yard and the barn, besides we don't want to be indoors on these warm days! Oh the minute I begin I turn around and the little ones have discovered some toy or games they haven't seen in 6 months or more, then its messy once again. Loosing battles. I think I will grab a magazine and sit in the sun on my Adirondack chair...Listen spring is here...Ahhhh.

Spring Snow

It is March 28, 2008, it's a Friday. Seven days into spring and we are having a snowstorm. Today we were to register little Stephen into Kindergarten for this September. I can't believe this weather. More so, I can't believe he will be going to public school. Both children in the same school come this fall..he seems nervous, a bit shy and a little apprehensive. I have all summer to ease his fears...I don't know who is more afraid here myself or my son.
Meanwhile there is no future date for this to be rescheduled. Just wait and see...and so it goes.

February

And so it goes the shortest month , the coldest. We welcome March with a smile. Winter takes it's toll. The children seem to enjoy frolicking in the cold blustery snow., must be their youthfulness. I just want to remember it all. I guess if we did not have the change of seasons I would be the first to miss it.

Winter/Summer

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
— Albert Camus

This was in my email today, it suits me perfectly...

Snowy February

It is a snowy month so far, I know only six days into it. I am so not a winter person. Freezing rain added to the snowy days just mae me long for spring. They say if you can survive a Maine Winter you truly deserve spring. So here I am awaiting and counting the days.
I miss my very dear friend Dyana, and her family. It was about this time last year our friendship was thriving and getting very strong. I hope she can try to visit us this spring or perhaps this summer. Oh wishful thinking....and so it goes
