When Spring is here...

It seems like words that come out of our mouths so often.  When spring comes we will do this.  When spring comes we will do that.  The list is going to be never ending.  The picture above was from last spring and boy to look at it makes you long for the day.  Today we look at the same landscape and see a few feet of snow.  Can be depressing to say the least.  We have to keep looking back at our pictures from last year to keep our hopes of a green lawn in our future.  We know it will come but right now it seems like it has been forever ago.  Winter is pretty, don't get me wrong, but at this point I say it has been long enough and bring on the spring.  We are ready.  We have a roof to fix.  A house to side.  Some paddocks to build.  Hopefully a barn to build.  And so much more.  All of course if we can afford it.  We will have to do it slow and Russell has to be able to do the work himself.  So some of the list may not even be possible but it all needs to be done. So while we wait lets all just think spring, think spring, think spring.

School Lunch

Today was a great day.  We were invited to have our lunch at our daughters school.  What a delight it was that both my husband and I could go.  I know it just thrilled my daughter.  She is a thriving young lady in fourth grade.  She was very excited about having both of her parent join her for her lunch.  The town of Skowhegan has a great school system and we did get lucky when we moved here.  Melanie has adjusted well to our move to this town and a new school.  She has made many friends and really fits in.  We were informed this morning we would be sitting with her best friend Zoe and her mother.

After our lunch the school was having a book fair.  Well of course Melanie was eager to purchase a few books.  Melanie loves to read.  It was a wonderful afternoon having lunch with Melanie and her classmates.  We thank her school for the opportunity share a meal.
