While fixing breakfast this morning, I look out my back door and see a little squirrel frantically scurrying across the yard, the way that squirrels do. And I was SO excited - my first squirrel! A sure sign of warmer weather. And then the little rodent ran across the 4 feet of snow still remaining on my back patio and I second-guessed myself. Sigh...
But THEN, I went to work and the birds that had made a nest in the eaves of the store last year are BACK! Yay! I just stood there for a few minutes watching in wonder as they chirped and chirped, clearly annoyed at my gawking.
Isn't it amazing how a couple of little critters can enter your day and bring with them the hope of a new season?
I think I can finally say it - Happy Spring!

I guess you didn't get THAT snow storm that we got yesterday!!! I think we probably got 25-30cm by the time it was all done - blech! Great for Jacques cuz this will give him another weekend or 2 of ski-dooing but BLECH for me considering Sunday was 15 degrees and sunny and warm and beautiful and spring like!!!
YES, I agree about the little critters - only my little critters come in the form of kids in mud & puddles leaving lots of wonderful 'art work' on the walls as they enter SOAKING wet!!! I guess it's better than the day we were at bible study and Noah was pretty quite outside, at the end I found him LITERALLY COVERED in mud. So I explained there is a time & a place (like he didn't already know that) - so this past week EVERY day he goes through 1-2 outfits per day, playing in the puddles & mud he finds while riding his bike.
Happy Spring BLISS, for sure (oh and LOTS of laundry too)!!!
Happy Spring :)
Hi! I saw your comment on Tara's blog and just wanted to say hi to another sponsor! Do you sponsor through World Vision? I just got to go to Ethiopia and spent a day meeting my sponsor child, Tsehay. It really does change their lives. She had every package I had ever sent her (I send one every month). I also send $150 directly to their family every year (you can do this by calling world vision, and then you get a photo fo the family with whatever they choose to buy) and I got to see the cow they bought with it (as well as the dress and shoes for Tsehay). Child sponsorship is pretty amazing!! you should send your little guy something- they so look forward to it!
We have squirrels out and about even during winter but the chipmunks do hibernate so when they come out of the frost, it's a big deal. It's so great that Spring is here. The light is different. It just feels....different. Good!
