somebody needs to put the batteries back in mommy's camera.......

i just got home from an AMAZING afternoon at the ski hill....i think there were only about 50 of us there. we had the whole place to ourselves. no one in line....just up and down and up and down. PERFECT! another bonus...no blaring music! it's great when i have little boo with me, 'cause it gets us in the groove, but today it wasn't missed. i could hear myself think. the trees were swaying in the breeze. the sun was shining and it was balmy out. BALMY!!! but i could see that big grey storm cloud heading our way. it's supposed to be bringing rain with it. so this could be it for the ski season. the whole time i kept thinking i need to get a picture of this...what a view. the lake and the hills, all sparkling in the sun. i am so at home there. really comfortable. no anxiety, no fear just complete happiness. also i was feeling grateful because 2 weeks ago i wasn't feeling too hot. i am all better. winter, i am sorry i dissed you. please feel free to stay a couple more weeks. (i am going to get in SO much trouble for this!)

SO GLAD it's March...

this has been the longest winter ever... and let me add that i AM a northern girl...i love snow and i love this season, but wow...i think we might have another full month of this. we get kinda giddy when we talk about spring around here. our eyes get all sparkly and we make promises to each other. like...i promise....i swear that when the weather gets warmer i am going to do EVERYTHING outside...i promise......




an extra wintery winter has let us get things accomplished around here. we are motivated to get it done so that this summer we can actually take it easy......relax and enjoy it more. emma i am sorry for posting this photo. thank you for your help. you did a great job girls!




other things have been let go for a while. now i have little laundry piles all over the house. most of them are clean clothes. they can wait until the big jobs are finished. i am excited to be done...well not done done. just more done. i don't think this place will ever be totally done. it doesn't have to be perfect to be a home. i love saying that. and i say it a lot..........
