February is gone for another year. I always feel if we can just get through January and February, if we can keep ourselves happy and optimistic somehow while we feel that we might possibly actually live INSIDE a snowbank, that we can make it to the other side of winter.
People in blogland keep mentioning that Spring is here. I am having serious trouble feeling springlike.
This is what outdoor time has looked like (still looks like) around here.
 |
| Shoveling driveways. Shoveling around vehicles. |
 |
| Shoveling off the roof as well. |
 |
| Jumping off that roof. Just because we can! |
 |
| Going to festivities like SnowBlast and sliding parties. |
 |
| Max too. |
 |
| Claire, clearly ready to go. |
Tonight though, driving home, I noticed something I hadn't seen in quite some time. It was 6:30, and the sun was just starting to set! Maybe Spring will come again. Maybe we're not stuck in a Narnia winter after all.

Oh Victoria I know exactly how you are feeling. I'm so finished with winter...so completely finished with the cold and the layers and only lasting 15 mins or so outside.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just have to say that your littles are so so beautiful. Max is just precious. Thane is so grown up. Claire is so pretty and Seth is just a dear as always. I love your brood!
Thank you Johanna! Thane really is growing up so fast. It's a little disconcerting buying clothes for him now, they're almost as big as I am! Winter must be very daunting for you there, are you at least noticing a bit more light yet?
ReplyDeleteGreat quote... great shots! I know how you feel too. Although it was over 50 degrees F here today and our snow piles are steadily melting away... maybe by the end of this month they'll be history.
