where did spring go?

I have to say...I was very excited that most of our snow melted last week and that there was more green & brown to be seen than white. The thought of an early spring sent thought of gardening and cottaging through my brain. It sent thoughts of outdoor projects that I'd like to do this year.
Yesterday morning....the snow is back. We are back in a white winter world. My son is very happy. He loves snow. He loves shoveling. He loves loves loves it. I think he likes outside no matter the weather but he really loves to shovel so having snow makes it all the better.

Once again my thoughts of gardening, and outdoor projects are on hold.

Yesterday was family day and we got to spend it as a family. My son was in a non-baby proofed house for most of a day and the only thing he got into was he tried using the towel bar in the bathroom as a monkey bar (his plan failed, it fell, he fell, he apologised for breaking it)

I think it is very important to teach him to say sorry when he breaks something. Even if it was a complete accident. It BUGS me when someone breaks something of mine and doesn't point it out or fess up. I have come across some of my things that are broken and someone has just picked up the pieces and pretended that nothing happened under their watch. Which is crazy. I get more upset when I find something broken and placed back together because I wish that someone had just told me it was broken than over the fact that the thing is broken. Yes I have little things all over that are from memories of my life but if they get broken, oh well. I have memories that can't be broken...in my heart and mind.

anyway, that was totally off topic. I need to get the coffee brewing and the oatmeal cooking...
my son couldn't wait, he is out playing in the new snow...so he is going to be VERY hungry when he comes in from shoveling...and the coffee...I am just tired! I lost sleep once again at work on the weekend and last night...had my nose stuck in a book....which I am happy to report is finished :)






It was a good book. I didn't want to put it down. Angela Hunt is good at being creative in her topics that she puts in her book. This one was about a lady whose husband died and the evidence points at her. So the story is mostly about the trial. I recommend this one if you are looking for a novel to read...that has some good spins to it.
