I think we are all in the same boat these days, we have had a wonderful winter season here in the north country, but as we enter March we just can't help thinking of spring. As you walk through the stores these days all the seeds and starter kits are out and the bags and bags of fertilizer and soil give us the smell of spring. It's still too early for it all of course, we know that March can have it's share of winter left in it, but you can feel the change starting to happen. The sun is higher and warmer, and at certain times you feel the melt starting to happen, then we get a day like today with rain. I'm ready for the day when I smell spring, there's always that one day, where you can smell it. It happens in the fall also, you'll have that one day where you just know summer is over, you just hope you're outside that day. We have been realtively quiet here for the month, with little home improvement projects, lots of shoveling and lots of movies by the fire. No cabin fever, just winter living, not much to write about just lots of memories for us to share.Monday, February 28, 2011
It won't be long now

Snowstorm visitor
So we had our "big" snowstorm last night. I find it funny how the media tries to inflict panic on us. I'm all for weather updates, it is important to keep yourself informed and prepared, but it seems like every storm we have is the end all. Anyway, today while we were inside getting ready to venture out, my daughter spotted this guy flying across the yard and landing in the trees out back. Not the greatest pictures, but if you look in the middle of the frame, you can see a big grey blob. I don't know what kind of owl it is but he brought much excitement to our day. Very proud of her for keeping her eyes open and seeing something very special.
We watched him for about fifteen minutes or so and we let her bring the dogs out so she could say hi. Unfortunately he was already gone when she got them out there. She did have time to name him though, say hello to Wink. Great family day today. Hope you are safe and warm in our latest storm.
