rrrrrroar!

yep, march is a lion! this was the scene from my back porch earlier this afternoon. what. the. heck! last week i was planning my garden and cleaning up the raised beds. my tulips have already produced healthy green stalks with a promise of beautiful, bright blooms in the near future. i have new spring clothes practically begging to be worn. and now this!

really it only snowed for about 20 minutes and then the sun came out. here is how it looks from the back porch right now. the snow should be gone before evening.

and snow or not, we are stuck indoors today. i am taking care of these two little ones. they are both snotty and feverish and miserable. poor, poor things.

our tea kettle has been busy as we brew pot after pot of awake tea for this groggy mama and cold bear tea (as esme' calls it) for the littles.

on the bright side::

:: i am getting a ton of knitting done.

:: we have watched nearly every movie in the house, some of them long forgotten favorites.

:: right now the sun is shining through the front picture window and it is so bright and so warm. everything in the room is glowing.

i have decided that spending a sunday afternoon curled up on the couch with blankets and tea and two small people watching DVD's and sun and snow through the window while knitting and occasionally napping... really isn't so bad after all.
