The Five of Us, Spring 2014

Today

Happy Spring!

I took this photo this morning out my front door (which is also my back door, incidentally). That's all fresh snow from last night. Judging from the accumulation on the mirror, I'd say there's 3-4 inches! Uuuugh! Look at the trees in the background--my head says they're so pretty; my heart says, "I WANT SPRING!!!!!!"


And, the better news is that it's supposed to snow again on Easter!!! C'mon!!!! I guess we'll be hiding all those eggs inside our dinky little apartment. Sigh.


Please direct all sympathy cards to my emails listed in the side bar....

Major bummer... I feel bad now for grumbling about our remaining snow. God bless you Laura Ingalls!

Talk To Me

I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
