We’ve been hearing birds, seeing Ranger chase the poor bunnies from our yard, and watching squirrels.  All signs of Spring, right.  We even raked up all the rocks the snowplow tossed onto the grass, exchanged our winter boots for puddle stomping boots, and put away sleds and car scrapers in exchange for trucks and bikes. 

We painted little birdhouses that we plan to hang in the bushes, and want to sprinkle the corn from our corn table outside for the animals. 

But then it snowed, ruined all our Spring plans.  It was no fun clearing the driveway.  The snow was too wet and heavy, and Rob’s back was too sore.  So, I shoveled, hauled, pushed that snow to the fringes of the driveway.  Then I promptly took a 2 hour nap. 

We so want to spend our days outside; we’re just not happy with this snowfall.   On the bright side, Noah suggested that we take some snow and put it in our freezer for when it’s all gone.  Cute idea kid!  We’ll do that.
