waiting for Spring

 

 

Despite the snow and cold, there are hints of Spring...the sunshine is a bit brighter, and it is still light out when we sit down to dinner.  The geraniums over-wintering inside cannot wait to get outdoors, and outside I see tulips, daffodils, and allium beginning to push up through the snow.  Last week, three bluebird couples were seen on the pasture fence posts and were checking out the bird houses.

Though we had a perfect snow cover this past weekend, it was just too bitter to venture out on the skiis...instead we cleaned the basement, cooked some homemade spaghetti sauce, made lemon cake, and played Scrabble.  Some of us napped...

I am ever so slowly finishing up the last elann mitt, which somehow I thought would be done for Christmas...maybe I'll have it done in time for her birthday at the end of this month; with winter sure to stretch through March, at least they will still see a little use.
