I took a few pictures out the window this morning. It was a good thing too, because now the snow is starting to fall. Not from the sky, from all the pine needles and tiny branches. Rather like it’s snowing again, but just where trees are. Notice the basketball hoop at the bottom to show scale: Hopefully it will all fall off today and then melt before sundown. 🙂I guess I will miss snow a tiny bit… by the time next Christmas rolls around.

Yesterday we had about 8 inches of snow. I would like to point out that on the news, our town was listed as the highest snowfall in the entire area by an inch… fantastic. Not so much. The snow was heavy and wet and we had to shovel it out of the driveway. I did this right before physical therapy, which my therapist found pretty funny (and dumb). I didn’t even get another snow day at school! That was pretty lame, but Lowell didn’t get nearly as much snow as we did. Plus, I did get last Monday off and…

This outfit just never gets old! I still think its funny every time I put it on him. (And it’s sort of true, too…) Unfortunately we’ve had it since Halloween and the elastic on the pants is starting to stretch out… pretty soon they’ll be falling off! Notice that he is trying to grab something off the counter (probably chocolate) when he knows he should not be up there. Those little ears and adorable tail do it for me every time. I’m sure he’ll love these pics when he’s older!

Today was a beautiful day, for early March anyway… here in our yard it was 60 degrees.. apparently elsewhere in town where it’s not an icebox enclosed by trees and a yard full of 2ft of snow it was even warmer and people were walking around in just t-shirts. Oh, the joy. Spring, please stay, we need no more nights of 15 degree arctic displays, thanks. I didn’t bring out my camera, but Arin looked totally adorable. There is this one ‘island’ of orange pine needles and fallen twigs near the edge of the yard that’s free of snow, so…

Yesterday morning Bobo got up earlier than usual so I guess he was pretty sleepy all morning. He was sitting on my lap at the computer and we were looking at pictures of Chateaux in the Loire Valley and saying a few french words. Arin put both his hands on the desk and leaned his chin on it too to see the pictures more closely, I thought. Then I realized he had stopped chattering, and I leaned over… to discover the little muffin had fallen asleep right there on the desk! So adorable. Luckily my camera was sitting just above…

So yesterday did anyone else notice the turn-of-the-century western (mostly Oklahoma) theme on Turner Classic Movies? I did, and we had it on in the background all day! From Tulsa, to Oklahoma! to the Rainmaker… well basically I was in the mood to churn my own butter by nightfall. Since I didn’t have anything in the house to churn butter from, I turned my attentions to the chinese leftovers in the fridge. After we polished most of them off, I came here to search slashfood for how to deliciously reconstitute my dried to shriveled white rice. Of course, I came…
