Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Strange Easter this year. We stayed up too late the night before watching a movie, so we all ended up sleeping in - even the dogs. All 3 of us took a shower in time to go to church. By the time we got home and finished breakfast, it was afternoon!

And that was also strange - "3 of us" as Evan stayed at Duquesne due to his finals starting on Tuesday.

Plus the weather. It has been cold, rainy and dreary for most of the week after our high of 80 on Monday. Even had a frost warning at the end of the week. We woke up to WARM! I was going to wear winter clothes to church and had to scramble to find something else to wear! Good thing I had bought a new pair of sandals last week. Just so strange to be wearing multiple layers one day and then be in shorts, bare feet and sandals by this afternoon!

Spring is coming!

First crocus about to bloom. Of course, I have taken many a picture of a crocus covered in snow, so nothing would surprise me, but I think spring IS on the way!





Have also seen 7 robins now - a group of 4 yesterday and another 3 an hour from home today.

Spring is coming!

We had a lot of snow this winter season and it wouldn't surprise me to get a little more. However, I think we have broken the back of winter with the days being above freezing for a week or two now. Have had a few days in the 50's and instead of snow, had rain instead.







I bought myself some tulips and enjoyed the bit of spring they brought to my breakfast yesterday

Over a year!!

It's been over a year since my last post! 2010 was busy and it just got away from me





So far, 2011 has brought us a lot of snow.

Hoping to recap 2010 soon and maybe blog on a more regular basis. Just got a Blogger app for the iPad, so maybe it will be a little easier. :-)

Last day of 2009

Let's take a look outside, this last day of 2009 ....

It snowed!  Everything always looks better after it has snowed.

Happy New Years Eve!

It Snowed

It snowed!

Everything looks so pretty after it snows.  The jingle bells are wearing bigger snow hats than they did yesterday.

Glad I got the reindeer up before it snowed too much yesterday. They are wearing snow hats too :-)

We ended up with about 7-1/2".  Not a lot compared to the 20" in parts of Maryland, VA and NC, but a lot for around here. We usually don't have a "White Christmas", so this is exciting for us. 

And, yes, I measured it :-)

Enough with the snow, can we go in now?

More ....

Let the wrestling begin .....

I got to watch a wrestling match earlier this morning.  This was after a game of "your toy is better than mine"  They each had a toy but they were eying the other's toy.  Then, as if on a signal, they would stop, look away briefly, and then pounce on the other's toy.  Repeat for 10 minutes.

Then we had the wrestling :-)

We've had a stint outside and now all is quiet and peaceful.

For now.
