It's In The Air

We went from 3 feet of snow to no snow in about a week. Now that I've tasted Spring, I don't want Winter back. I love all the seasons, but there's something about Spring that makes me want to celebrate! To start out the season right, I had to take some snapshots of Natalie and Anna.

Aren't these window frames the coolest? We found them in the hold airplane hanger on our property. Our house is actually built on a runway, the previous owner had his own little plane.

No, they're not in a band.

And then I had to get in there and document my presence.

Happy Spring!

Meet Larry

Larry is a very special snowman. He used to be a football player - hence the absence of a neck. But then he ate too many pringles - hence the big butt.

But he really is a lovable hunk of snow, even with a bad hair day.

I love you Larry.

New Blogs on the Block

There are two new blogs attached to mine now, and I must tell you about them.

*

The first is my sister Anna's. She blogged for awhile with me on here, then stopped, and now recently got her own. Because, obviously, she was jealous. Check it out here: A Princess's Tale

The second is one I'm doing with my other sister Emily, a blog just for posting our poems and (her) songs on. So if you like that sort of stuff, head over to Item Seven. I'm pretty excited about it! :)

And one more thing: IS IT REALLY MARCH ALREADY?

"The lesson of failure ought to be as instructive as that of success. Wise men learn from their mistakes and unfortunate ventures. It is claimed that more men triumph through failure than otherwise."
