Ready for Spring
Good morning:) I’m sitting here listening to the rain:) RAIN! I love rain. I know this is just a brief (far to brief) glimpse into Spring but I am ready! Yesterday was gorgeous. It got up to 65 degrees:) It was nice to be able to just wear my t-shirt and capri pants. Then, last night, I ran out to get Paul and my supper. I opened up my sunroof and wasn’t even cold:) They said it was going to be cooler today but this morning, when I stepped out, it’s just beautiful. It’s damp and overcast and more rain is on the way, but it feels like a cool English morning:) The birds are singing. They are just so happy. Our [not so] little opossum was busy digging in our trash cans:) I think everyone and everything is just ready for this long, cold, snowy winter to be over! Right now, I can hear the church bells ringing because I have my doors open. I love church bells. On the BBC website, I used to listen to the “Bells on Sunday”. I don’t know if they do them anymore, but they would feature the bells from different churches around England. I should really go see if it’s still there.
I went into school this morning to get the last three pictures of Sarah’s classmates (and teacher) so we can finish her Valentines. I wish I’d taken a picture of the ones I made for Maria, Monica and Elizabeth. They turned out pretty good, even if I say so myself:) I am making other ones, smaller ones, for the kids’ teachers and then I am making them for Aunt Kathy and Martha. I think I’m going to have to make another trip to Joann Fabrics though to get more embellishments.
The kids are having movie day after school today. Sarah said she doesn’t want to go. I’m not sure why. She’s been kind of clingy lately. As soon as I pick the boys up though, I have to rush off to ballet with Sarah from 5-6. Then at 6:15 the kids have Kids Club and I have a PTC meeting at 6:30! How’s that for rush rush rush this evening. I have Weight Watchers tomorrow morning. I think I’ve done ok this week. I mean, I DID splurge and have Bennigans last night, but I haven’t used my extra points this week. I don’t really ever use them though. So we’ll see how it turns out. I feel better about myself, that’s for sure:)
Here are some really great recipes that are perfect for Valentine’s Day:) I hope you enjoy them:)
take care,
