It may be cold where you are, but…

It is “spring” here. 

My flowers are coming up.

I took this particular picture last year…and since I saw these blooming again in my yard this morning I had to go back and see when I took this picture. 

March 6th, 2009. 

We are a month ahead of schedule.

I thought the photo looked familiar. It's crazy. Makes me wonder what is in store for us this summer. Not a bunch of rain, I hope!!

I love crocus. It has rained in CA non stop for the past 10 days. Today has been dry and I loved going for a walk and taking in all of the early flowers

I'm officially jealous! School was 2 hours late this morning because of the extra foot of snow we got over the weekend. The news just informed us we've had snow EVERY DAY in the month of February! ;(

While it's gorgeous to look at, I'm ready for some warm weather, green grass and colorful flowers! At least I can appreciate them at YOUR house!!! ;D

Seems so unfair when I'm looking at 13 inches of snow ;)

I must admit I'm jealous. :) We're getting pounded with snow this year - Mother Nature apparently swapped our weather with you guys last year, so she's getting us back this year. ;)

What!? Those are so pretty, can't believe they're growing already. It's been snowing every day here for weeks, but I think of shoveling it as good cardio!

BEAUTIFUL! I love those! I can't believe that you are already having blooming flowers. We are under about 8 inches of snow here today and it is still coming down! We are expecting 12-18" total! *sigh* I am SO ready for Spring! :o)

It's CRAZY, isn't it?
I'm so worried it's going to freeze and ruin all of the blooms/potential blooms for Spring!

I am longing for Spring though, so if it stays warm, BRING IT ON a whole month early!!!

Ohhh pretty!! My favorite flower! : ) I'm right there with ya. I took some pics of flowers growing in our yard too.. I know I've been hearing something about a snow storm back East... but I have no idea what that means : )

There's hope! We didn't get hit with the snowstorm too bad, but I'm definitely tired of winter. Beautiful picture!

I'm having trouble leaving comments on Blogger blogs with my Open ID account. So I used my google account - its the old one so it will redirect you to my new blog. Sorry. I've been trying to get it fixed. I've missed commenting so I thought I'd go this route for now.

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

-
Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
