Hi there!<br />
It's been months since I've posted anything here. Almost a year! I've missed writing and am looking forward to starting again.<br />
I've got a new blog at my Crow Lady Healing website where I am trying combine my webpage and my blog. It's been challenging but fun getting it going and I hope you'll join me over there.<br />

The Peach is still going! Look at those bright pink stamens!<br />
<br />
Lilacs are blooming just outside my door. The fragrance makes me woozy. I want to be a bee and spend my day moving from one gorgeously geometric flower to another, breathing them in.<br />

Warm night. Finally a warm night!! Georgia and I decided to sleep out in the backyard on the trampoline. <br />
<br />
The frogs sang us to sleep,the peepers were loud and then the toads were trilling.<br />
<br />
We were both snuggled in our mummy sleeping bags. I woke up many times (It got cold as the night fell to 46 degrees. Even in my new sleeping bag that is supposed to be warm down to 20 degrees. Hmm)<br />
<br />
Georgia was toasty beside me.<br />
Waking up was actually perfect because I was able to experience the night. I heard an owl hooting and saw the almost full moon move across the sky as the hours went by. I saw the sky turn bright blue and heard the birds go wild with singing as the sun come up. The I stumbled inside and had a nice long hot shower!<br />

Doing a Cain's arcade project where they made an arcade out of found objects and invited the school and parents to come play. The whole class was so excited!

Georgia's selling some Easter items in the living room. It's expanding every day and she is constantly harassing anyone who enters to, "Come buy stuff!"<br />
<br />
Like this beautiful farm she made or some seeds she planted and grew.<br />

Well, that was a surprise! We woke up to 2 inches of wet gorgeous infuriating snow. I was annoyed but the girls were really angry. Dropping them off at school Georgia and I saw a beautiful flock of cedar waxwings on an ornamental fruit tree in the front of the school. Such sweet beautiful birds. I've read about them being seen passing the fruit down the line to the next bird in a very polite manner and they sometimes get tipsy and flop out of trees after eating fermented fruit. I'm a big fan of them, but I haven't seen them in a few years.<br />

Oooh I love the smell of vinegar because it reminds me of decorating eggs as a child. We dyed 2 dozen and could have done more, but it was time for bed. <br />

The street sweeper has come!! That is always a big day here because we live on a steep hill and get a ton of sand dropped every winter, which makes biking and even walking a bit tricky. Hooray for the street sweeper. We have to make sure to rake/sweep our lawn of sand, shoving it into the road like everyone else, before the sweeper comes. This year Lily spotted the rented yellow sweeper moving slowly on a neighboring street on the way home from school and ran in the door saying, "The street sweeper is coming!" then ran outside to sweep. What a gal!<br />
<br />
The boat launch is flooded more than I've ever seen. It's a little creepy to see water where there is usually dry land. Lily got out of car and I yelled, "Don't touch the water!" fearing it would just wash up and grab her or even come swirl up around our car, which didn't really make sense in this situation, but is probably a sensible fear, really..<br />

A tiny lungwort flower near the frog swamp and a pair of mating frogs. I tried to be scientific and tell georgia what was going on but she was utterly convinced it was a Mama and a baby and my words did not change that. I could hear Georgia's squeaks of glee when she spotted all the frogs. Now. Spring. Is. Here. Hoo. Fricken. Yay!</div>

Our beloved House Wren is back and trying to find the perfect spot for a nest. They are such cheerful singers from dawn to dusk. I sat under the plum tree and just let myself drink in spring.<br />
<br />
I promised myself during our long protracted "almost" spring that I would steal time and go outside this season once it kicked in. I know I'll be so sad if I miss it. <br />

Ahhh. The peepers have come. A wonderful chorus of celebration. The momentum of spring is growing, becoming unstoppable. The full moon rising and a cacophony of spring peepers = magic!<br />

Actually laying down in the grass! What a joy. The sky is so blue and Cookie is so happy!<br />
I still feel scared to trust the warmth. Winter was so long, dark and cold; there is a part of me that wonders if spring will ever really settle in.<br />

Arrrg! The frozen ground combined with all that rain gave us 1-2 inches of water in our basement for the first time in our 10 years here. Terrible!

Has been hanging out above our compost pile for the last two days. He's fluffy and relaxed, like a cat up there, pretending not to watch us as we dump the compost. I'm not sure if it is the compost or the rodents eating the compost that have brought Owlie to us, but I like having a sleepy daytime owl keeping an eye on things..Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06051356000044464188noreply@blogger.com1
