Lovely weekend away.  It was a tad snowy, well actually visibility was down a bit at times, but things went well.  We  did have a stop as the road was cleared.  A moose crossed and there was a three car pile up!  Some had been waiting in the line up  for 45 minutes and we were only held up for an additional 20.  Those moose are BIG but it was rather odd that it was out in the afternoon.

Dh and I had a very nice room overlooking a lake.  The weather turned down right balmy.  Wow!  There was even signs of water on the shoulder of the highway on the way home. 

But it is still too early to be thinking spring.  We passed some green houses and there was no sign of any smoke coming from their chimneys. So the garden can wait a bit as  Dh got a 'chick' catalogue in the mail today.  The 'chick' on the front has some hairdo!  lol  I know what he'll be reading tonight.  And after he has checked out all the shapely legs and big breasts he'll decide on what kind of gals will be invited  to spend the summer with us.  DD says we really should find the movie Chicken Run!

I'm usually quite content to let winter run its course.  Not this year.  I guess our Dsil's depression has made me anxious for the spring.  I had no idea of the struggles that plague some people.  It seems that fixes just aren't guick.  I was pleased to see him and Dd looking thru the garden catalogue, planning what they'd like to grow. 

Now isn't that interesting. We are to have high hopes, look up,  raise our sights, etc. but it is down on our knees, hands in the earth, intent on tiny seeds and seedlings that we find peace!
