Spring, Please Come Back

Okay, I thought spring was here.  We had temperatures in the high 60’s and even low 70’s just a little while ago. 

But today?  SNOW!

What is going on?  I know the old saying that says “three more snows after the forsythia blooms,” but I’m pretty sure this is snow #4. 

I love winter.  LOVE snow and cold temperatures.  I would move to Alaska in a heartbeat.  Or maybe the U.P (Michigan).  Every winter I complain about how little snow my particular town gets.  My sister (who lives an hour north of me) gets ALL the snow, and I complain because we get NONE of the snow.

But this?  I don’t like this.  It’s time for the snow to go away and spring weather to officially get here and STAY!

Yard Work

My husband has been working out in the yard almost every day since the weather has turned nice.  He loves getting his hands dirty and working outside.  This year, he has a helper!  Jack absolutely loves being outside.  Especially when his daddy is working in the yard.  He has become quite the little helper. 

Here he is making sure Daddy is doing it right.  He’s like a mini contractor…

  

But he likes to get involved as much as he can and get his hands dirty too…

Another day he decided to be a self-starter.  He decided the soil needed hammered.  Doesn’t it always?

I’d like to mention that he has eaten pollen.  Is that okay?  He sticks his fingers in the flower, then in his mouth.  He doesn’t seem to mind the taste, but his Mommy yelling, “NO, NO JACK!” is getting on his nerves.

The best part about having a little helper are the impromptu hugs you get while you’re working.  Life doesn’t get much better than this!

I do love Springtime!
