no rest for the weary

The geese are back

however

I don't know where they are resting their weary bodies.

There is no open water

except for puddles in the streets or 

along the sides of roads.

Can geese land on snow?
Don't they need water for those picture-perfect landings?
What do they drink?
Can geese eat snow?

I am concerned.

dear snow.......

It's one of those days.

We're in the middle of yet another blizzard 

and snowfall warning so

no school today.

That part is okay.

Thinking about this day a year ago is a bit depressing, though.

It was +24C.

I read a status on Howard's facebook a few weeks ago:

Dear Snow

The novelty has worn off.

Sincerely,

Canada

Pretty much sums it up.

brighter days

We've made it to daylight savings time!

Spring must be just around the corner - although looking

outside one would wonder.

We still have heaps of snow and even though the

sun shines brightly day after day

the temps are cold and the wind still belongs to

old man winter.

The ladybugs continue to be happy inside.

This one found my rubber glove the other day.

I think this spring we'll have to try to discover where these little beasts are

getting into the house.

They aren't a bother but I think it's just time.

two girls and two birthdays

 

Last Sunday we celebrated Katy's 21st birthday.

 This Sunday it was Beth's turn.

 Our first baby will be 23 tomorrow.

Where do the years go?
