Spring where are you !?

Like most people in vermont or other states that go below zero , I'm sick of winter . I suppose if I was a person who went skiing I may feel different , I don't . I want to be outside in the fresh air in bare feet with dirty hands from playing in the garden . The other day I was scrolling through some of my favorite garden loving blogs and I actually felt a claustrophobic feeling realizing I couldn't be outside for more than 5 minutes without getting frostbite . So I took a trip to the closest farm store and bought myself some seeds and potting soil . I scrolled through my own garden photos and tried to psych myself up . Very soon it will be spring , pretty soon I won't have to chase children through the house making sure they have their hats, mittens , snow pants , scarves , coats , boots . 

  I can make it ! I will survive !! For now ill plant some seeds , busy myself with teaching myself to crochet ( my new project ) and maybe paint a few pictures .

End of the school year

it's the end of the school year here. It's so hard to believe that another year has passed , my children are growing so fast . my mother always told me that time seems to pass much faster after the kids are in school , she was so right .

    Justin , our oldest is going into third grade. I vividly remember third grade. Who my friends were, who my crushes were on . I feel myself excited to watch him grow and so sad at the same time. I'm very aware that these days of my life are the best. Even when u feel I'm pulling my hair out with frustration , I wouldn't change a thing.
