Life

It really warmed up in the middle of February, just long enough to tease us with the idea of spring.

I even got out and worked in the yard a couple of days, moved some rose bushes, and trees around that needed to be transplanted. 

I want to do more, but the weather changed and being outside is no longer enticing...

I think it might be safe to say that the Italian Cypress did not make it through our winter. 😉😋

I won't give up on it yet, but evergreens do not recover from winter kill/ burn that easily. 

Storm is coming.

The nice thing is that we've gotten snow, but it only sticks around for a few hours.

Hyacinths

Usually in the spring you walk around looking for signs of life and do a happy dance, I was a little surprised to see these popping up in February! 

I can't decide if I should be excited or worried. 😐

Daffodils

Tulips

I'm wondering if the cats are going to let me put flowers in the pots this year...?😆

The kids throwing rocks on the frozen water... 

We drove up to what was formerly known as "Kenny's Mine" (to us).

Conversation I had with Aidan while he was playing a video game. 

We stopped at the gravel pit yesterday afternoon and who knew it would hold the kids attention for so long?!
