Does this look like March to you?

Seriously. Does this look like spring to you? Here I am, taking pictures of every plant and blooming crocus in my yard, and it has the nerve to snow. I mean, REALLY! Doesn't the world know how tired I am of winter? I admit, I know it always snows in March, but I think I have had enough.


Our poor swing isn't going to get used for a few days, at least. I can't wait to swing during the summer with my cute little family. We like to sit and chat about all the pretty things we see, or sometimes read a Harry Potter book together. Guess those times are not happenin' for quite awhile, yet.

I love this picture for two reasons:

• Last night we went shoe shopping for Miriam. On our way out to the Durango, I had to take a picture of the snow. I just love big snowflakes, but not as much when I am ready for spring. I love that the post to the porch railing looks almost like a bright snowflake. I guess snow doesn't usually come in pyramid shapes.
• The best part of this is that Miriam is actually sitting in the Durango. You can't see her, she didn't bother to clear any of the windows, but you can see the telltale footprints on the driveway and running board, and there is just a bit less snow on the handle than the front door. It took me a minute when I downloaded this picture to my computer to remember why I took it. The footprints gave it away.

Almost every day, Miriam is reminding us that the spring equinox is on the 21st. That means that the days and nights are equal in length. To me, it means that I can buy "Twilight" on DVD. What would we do without 6th graders? Here's to hoping that spring comes quickly.
