...march comes in like a lion...

Goodness, I've neglected blogging lately...

I've been busy with work and mothering and all that falls in between...and honestly, every moment online has been used multitasking as is...so there really wasn't opportunity to sit down and type out my ramblings.

We're halfway into March already, and as of yesterday it does seem that spring is peeking around the corner. My wind chimes are melodious in the breezes...I can hear them through the open windows downstairs. And the twittering birds in the morning more than makes up for a bad night's sleep.

How funny that there are still a few deep drifts of snow piled up in the parking lot. We had, at the very beginning of March, a "level three snow emergency" snowstorm...over two days and two feet of snow. Truly, winter's last and most ferocious blast.

I think I've officially determined that I am a spring/fall person...I have no use for the extremes of summer and winter, but the tranformative months hold me fast.Every day the view changes, every morning brings something new to the table.

Of course March brings on the need for spring cleaning also. Which is why yesterday I spent a good hour raking and bagging all the leaves off the patio and damning the maintenance men who seem to blow them under the patio walls on purpose. The mister man was an active participant also, using his dumptruck and bucket method to move the leaves from one area to another.

We'll be busy later drawing flowers on the windows with Crayola Window FX markers...and hoping the real flowers poke up their heads soon.
