This was the view out the window of my truck as I perused some of the backroads in my ol’ stompin’ grounds a couple of weekends ago – right before some much-needed snow arrived. I’ve changed my tune a bit; when I took this photo I was pining for some deep snow, but now I’m quite ready for spring. Bring on the green grass, the warm breeze, the long evenings…it is time.

Winter didn’t exactly go as planned, but my little guys did eventually get to build a couple of little snowmen this week. They’re both old enough to ride little bikes now, and are expressing a desire to go stargazing so I anticipate big things this summer! I can’t wait to get started.
