Every year I wonder whether I will make it through February and every year I'm amazed when it happens. This February was the fourth snowiest on record for our little corner of paradise. We still have feet of it laying around but when I went to put my stuff in the car this morning something definitely felt different. There were birds singing. It was above freezing. All the icicles had fallen off the eaves sometime in the night.
I believe that spring is on it's way!
A few glimpses of the weekend.
:: Izzy, who loves to "help" with any sewing project that might be in the works. More on the finished product tomorrow!
:: {this would be an audible glimpse – you'll have to hum along} We watched a big chunk of the Winter Olympics at our house. Besides rooting for the USA we cheered for Canada quite a bit. Yesterday afternoon I could hear Ali in the kitchen singing O Canada fairly loudly. It's one of those songs that's fun to really belt out and she was obliging. If she doesn't know the words to something she just generally makes something up on the fly. Ditto with the tune. Before you could say "Royal Canadian Mounted Police" their national anthem had morphed into Somewhere Out There and she was wacking that out for all she was worth.
(Try it! After you get to "the true North, strong and free!" just slide right on into "Somewhere out there if love can see us through. . ." It's seamless. . .and hilarious!)
:: It must be getting closer to spring because I indulged in fresh strawberries at the grocery yesterday. They were grown in California and I can't think of a better March 1 breakfast celebration than strawberries.
:: Just because it's a clean slate, a new month and nearly a new season doesn't mean it's not still a Monday morning. We went out to get into our cars this morning and I heard a crash and some wailing.
That's Al – wearing a can of 7-Up. And doing it with style don't you think??Happy March. . .and happy Monday!
