Thinking Green
Mar 17, 2008 | 7:23 AM PST

Happy St. Paddy's Day!  He really was a good guy.  How The Irish Saved Civilization is an excellent read and no, I don't think I have any Irish blood.  I did have thoughts of green grass the other day but the wind has tossed up flurries of more white stuff so the paths are full again.  The new lamb crop is springing up though.  Once the little guys are dry and bonded to their mothers they don't mind the weather and get quite frisky as they play the games that the young are wont to do whenever 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 gather with no purpose but play in mind!  I am needing to finish up the green shower curtain project and I hope to make good inroads into that today.  I do hope everytone is thinking green in some aspect today.  Blessings from Elle

I'm settling down ...

.... and look what happened!  I have finally turned away from the "spring is here' pictures and put my nose down to the sewing machine.  I was  making lots of progress and our long awaited February thaw arrived.  Now I'm fussing that I won't get all my projects done before the bare ground starts to appear!  lol 

We had 60 days in a row  where the temperature never got above zero.  That was a bit unusual.  But on Wednesday things had peaked in the weather department and we actually had some precipitation in the form of rain.  Now that'll sink the snow levels!  But last night we had a presentation to go to up north and we left with some weather happening but it cleared as we went. But coming home we had blowing snow and icy roads but things got better as we neared home.  So winter is kinda fighting as it is being sat upon by Spring. 

Now I have incentive to get busy because this should be winter's last push and then yahoo, spring!
