Snow Day...on the first full day of Spring! March 21, 2018!

Today was a full-blown snow day.   It started yesterday afternoon, ended at midnight, just kind of sleeted for the next 12 hours, and then started snowing at noon, and it is still snowing, at 8 pm.  It is supposed to stop at 3 a.m.  

So, today we shoveled, hung out, and then, Lily and I went outside for a walk.  It was a lovely day when I get to be home, hanging out with my children!

   This struck me as very pretty...it is the tree right outside the front door, but the light was shining on it.

   My lord, this looks significantly less pretty...at least the thing on the right!   My excuse is that I have to get my knees fixed, and I am in pain.  It has been my excuse for awhile.  Lily is adorable.

And this is beautiful.  Looking down our street.  Notice that our street is still not plowed, and yet, our sidewalk looks great...my children will tell their children that I was the type of homeowner that really liked to get ahead of the snow.  I will go out several times a day to get snow removed.  There is none of this "we will shovel when the snow has stopped."  

Happy First Day of Spring, I guess....March 20, 2018!

So, while I know this is the first day of Spring, it is one of the worst days of winter we have had in the last three months.  The wind is howling, it is sleeting, the roads are awful....and the storm is just starting.

Happy St. Patrick's Day--Remembrances of ones in the past--March 17, 2018

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I guess the most memorable St. Patrick's Day was really the one in 2007, and it actually started on March 16th of that year.

Last Basketball game....March 5, 2018

I watched Timmy's last basketball game.  I have been watching Timmy bounce a basketball for over 16 years, so this was a sad game, really.

   This was some of the kids from Timmy's team, and some of the kids from the other team, all of whom he has known since he was at least 7th grade.

  And another view...
