in the ice and snow, the boats await

slushing around today in the snow, and I mean serious snow, not just a few flakes~ I am talking deeper than Ashlee's knees friggin snow was well, an adventure.. on the way home from he market (have to go back in the morning because so many places were closed) we passed by the lake~ the lake like a giant cake sits frosted in ice, with snow toss across for hilights... almost un-noticable are the boats.... they are there like us, waiting for the warm sun of spring to thaw them out, and have thier winter covers pulled away~~

Spring has come at Ash and Andy's! up in the loft,spring is already there! Ash has her garden babies growing under thier lights, wrapped in plastic and growing green and beutiful.... as I look at those fragile little babies, and see Ash care for them, giving them a drink, I recall her past attempts at growing a tomatoe in a pot on the patio... hmmm.. let me just say that with time, her thumb has become much more green...

haha.... as we wait for the new over a foot of snow to go away, we will just focus on the garden already in the works, up in the loft~~

growing pains~

even though they are all grown up and in charge of the world, the kids will always be just that, my kids~ Mich is starting the painful process of finding a new sitter... again... it is hard for the kiddos when this happens.. they have to get to know someone new, and trust does not come easlily.... Ash is feeling the effects of being a big girl trying to find her own music of life.... she wants to do something that matters she says, live smaller, leave a smaller foot print on our enviroment... her Grampa would be so proud... a little farm girl living in the great big city....

work has been busy.... fo which I am thankful... it is always amazing to me that I get to play a small part in the launch of the career of another~~ who knows what they will do.. maybe the everyday, mundane, or maybe something really spectacular! They probably won't remember me 10 years from now but I want to ensure that I do everything I can to get them off to a great start! Work is busy, but what an amazing blessing~

Spring seems to be eluding for the moment... March 20th is out there.. somwhere.... but for now, it apparently is hiding under yet antoher round of fresh white stuff...

oh... speaking of white stuff... I finally got a new matress! A REAL BED~ ahhhh.. no more air matress for me... I am so thankful for this... it feels so good.....
