Winter

I meant to post this last night but I forgot.  It's back to a normal winter day today.  In fact it's snowing right this minute.  Adam just walked into the kitchen growling, "God, that's all it does is snow!  If I wanted this much snow I'd move to Alaska!"

We're going a bit stir crazy  in this house.  It's been so cold and I'll be honest, sometimes getting the girls dressed to play outside in this weather, isn't worth it.  I am ready for spring.  Beyond ready.  The girls are too.  I went down to the basement a couple days ago to do laundry and the girls were wearing their water wings and playing with a beach ball. 

So it's been a cold winter. Basically a yuck winter that sucks the life straight out of ya.  It makes me want to pack up everything and move somewhere warmer.  I've brought it up to Adam multiple times this week and was only half joking.  Earlier in the week we had some rain/snow wintery mix that came down and we've been home all week from school because of it.  Today, I'm washing this week's 213th sink full of dishes and I look outside and it's just what I needed to see.  So I had to snap some pictures of it.

 

 

I am no photographer so the pictures don't do it justice, but it was gorgeous.  I'm not a winter person.  It makes me sad and I miss the life that is so visible in the other seasons.  Today, looking at those trees reflecting the bright light of the sun, it made me happy.  While I still crave green grass and warmer weather, this is enough for now, and I am so very grateful for it.
