So its not just a big pile of snow...

There are plants under there!I was starting to wonder.
But regardless of the weather,
They are hard at work.

Preparing for spring.
Waiting for their moment to shine.

Into the Fog

I was driving by Riverside High school the other day when I had to pull to the side of the road quickly. The fields surrounding the school were deep in fog.

It took my breath away.Luckily already donning my boots I tromped into the fog for a closer look.It was so quiet.
So peaceful.
Hard to imagine the high school was letting their rambunctious populace out for the day as I snapped pictures.
Hard to imagine there was another soul around for miles.

What lies beneath

The snow is melting, dripping and cascading off the plants. It seems a garden lies beneath.
The unfinished project still sit....unfinished.

Spring project #1.

Putting the gloves on

I'm officially putting the gloves on. I am expecting my third child this summer, late July. So my finger's aren't going to get the joy of warm dirt beneath them this year.

Lucky me, My girl's playmate gave her a set for her birthday.
One pair for me,
and one for her.She's excited.

She woke me up this morning with exclamations of spring. Her dreams were filled with flower's.

She dreams about my garden!

It seems Ive gained a gardener.

Well despite the dreams of spring, winter is still in the air.

On the ground.

Just about everywhere.

Traffic is nasty, the roads treacherous with slush and ice. Snow banks that get you caught in the most awkward places.

Winter is designed for boots. Walking is the best way to get around.

Its hard to miss the beauty of winter when walking.

The subtlety.

The quiet grace.

The striking colours.
Spring may be in my heart, but winter is still on the ground.
