The temperature is hopefully going to warm up a bit today, and just maybe we can say good-bye to all this snow…
My hubby was awesome and cleaned off the cars for us yesterday, and the kiddos and I did venture out last evening. I thought we had better check out the roads on the school route, just in case they were in bad shape. The roads were great, and so far school is still on for today.
Even though the snow is pretty, I’m really ready for Spring to get here already.
I kept hoping for a break in the weather yesterday, but the snow just didn’t cooperate. It kept falling late into the night.
At the moment the snow has tapered off, but there looks like a chance for more. School is supposed to be back in session tomorrow, but I don’t know if the roads will be all clear in time.
This was yesterday, bright, beautiful, 70 degrees, and the sun was shining…
The Daffodils were in bloom all the way up to the front steps.
But there in the blue skies, was an unhappy sight…
That is one big bad snow and ice storm headed our way.
The temperature was rapidly dropping, so I went inside to grab my scissors, and cut down the daffodils before the snow got them…
I gathered a big bowl, and went out bare-foot, so I could enjoy the cool Spring grass between my toes for just a moment, and I snipped them all. I lost all of my flowers last year to a late snow storm in April, it just made me too sad to see them go again.
I made three big bouquets to decorate the house with, so at least there is a little Spring indoors.
And here it is, the view from today. The ice hit late last night, and the snow is still falling…
So much for a warm Spring Day.
Today started off extra early, and with a full schedule too. The Miss had an early appointment to go to, and I was getting the house ready to kid-sit this afternoon. My hubby called from work, and he was miserable, after a good three weeks, the evil cold caught him. He was heading home as soon as he could for the day. I called my friend and told her the bad news, but it was cool.
I ran the kiddos to Walgreens to pick up some more cold medicine, and then we were off to the Doctor’s office for Agnes 4 month check-up and shots. We had a bit of a wait, but appointment went well. The little Miss put on a brave face, but now she is feeling super awful. She is napping at the moment.
The weather is great, and I finally made it outdoors to clean up the Christmas decorations. I know I am a few months late, but this is the first day that the weather has been decent, and I’m not sick! I also picked up a gigantic bag of trash from the front yard… Yucky litter-bugs, make me grumpy.
I’m waiting for the Miss to wake up from her nap, so she can eat, and then we are running to the store (again). I think this is the third trip this week… There is also bad weather on the way, so it is time to stock up just in case. Time to get back to it, while the kiddos are being quiet.
It might be Spring Break, but the weather sure isn’t Spring like.
I’m hoping for some sunny days to get the Daffodils and Tulips blooming.
