I'm Over It... Yeah Right!

It is now a balmy -11 degrees and there is water dripping off my roof. I did go back to bed but then I had a friend drop by for lunch. This picture was taken a couple of years ago.... we look like a couple of real winners. Anyway we had a very nice lunch and it is not often that we get together to do that. She is my fitness instructor but primarily she is a good friend.

I've pretty much decided to hibernate until spring. I have to take my girls into FSJ tomorrow because they are both in the regional science fair. I'm really proud of the fact that they have made it so far. But after tomorrow I'm not leaving the house until it goes above freezing. Then I might think about leaving the house. So for now I will only think spring thoughts and I will only spin spring things and sew spring things and weave spring things...... if I deny that it is STILL winter like out then eventually it will have to change to spring..... make sense????? I thought not?

Who says you have to make sense anyhow.... my brain is too frozen to make sense. I need some spring to thaw me out. It's all good, as my friend who came for lunch says, it's all good!

Well I'm sorry... winter sucks! I'm tired of winter... I NEED spring. I love to hear that first pattering of rainfall when spring comes. I love to hear the buzz of the flies and bees. There's chirping in the air and you can almost hear the sap rising in the trees. And the smells... oh the smells of spring. I just love the smell of the earth and the warm air in the leaves. The musty smell of last falls debris rotting. Then there are the smells of the flowers. You can't beat spring.... well I like autumn too.

I'm weaving and hope to have pictures of it soon.... my weaving looks like spring, with its Easter colours....see ya soon.... here's hoping its spring in your neck of the woods.
