Can’t believe how long it’s taking for the snow in our yard to melt. Three full months into the New Year and it still sorta feels like Narnia around here (you know, always winter, but never Christmas). I think though that Aslan must finally be on the move…
There isn’t much green in my flower garden yet, but the Lamium is waking up! Yeah!
On the down-side, the melting snow has revealed one flower pot that has massively and completely self destructed over the winter. Last time I buy a pot from Home Goods. Boo!
Another sure sign of spring…
The Boys of Summer are back and Peter and I went to our first Twins game of the season and had the most amazing seats ever… right behind the dugout!
It was a bit cold, but totally worth it! I even got a ball. I wish I could say that Justin or Joe had tossed it to me, when actually it was an infield practice ball that rolled into the camera pit. It’s pretty beat up (Peter declared it a batting practice reject) but I don’t care. I got a ball and TWINS WIN, so pretty much best game ever in my book.
And lastly…
The rocking chairs are back out on the front porch. Alethea and Clifford both seem pleased at their reappearance.
There is snow in the forecast for later this week, but spring IS coming… I think… maybe…
Over Easter weekend we (Paul) shoveled all the ice and snow off our deck and patio. And our backyard has absolutely no snow after all this rain we’ve been getting. But then Paul told me we’re under a winter storm advisory for up to 6 inches, maybe more! AHH! If baby decides to keep residence in my belly through the week, I will be out there shoveling it all back off our deck and patio. I’m loving having it snow-free right now!
LOVE the rug under your rocking chairs.
I thought about shoveling the snow from our yard onto our driveway just so it would melt, but I worried that the neighbors might think I was crazy! It is nice to have some snow free surfaces though.
We didn’t have a lot of snow. By the end it had all melted. Just bitter cold until this pass wekend. Good warm spring weather at last. Up to 88 today. Came home from St. Charles health fair and put all my house plants on he back porch. This will be their home until the threat of the first frost.
88, wow! We haven’t cracked 60 yet… I’m so jealous!
