I'm ready for Spring!

Who isn't, right? I'm not someone who hates winter. I've lived in WNY my entire life, hell, I went to school in Buffalo! So I'm not afraid of a little snow.

I know it could be much worse.

I'd rather deal with a ton of snow, than deal with hurricanes, mudslides, earthquakes, etc. If I'm home and "snowed in" it's not a huge deal.

However, I'm DONE with winter by February.

Every February.

By this time every single year, I'm just dragging along.

I'm ready for warmth.

I'm ready for it to be light out when I get home from work (had to search the house for 15 minutes last night looking for the flashlight so I could go out and feed the chickens).

I'm ready for greenery.

I'm ready for all of us to be able to be OUTSIDE.

It's been a long week.

A very long, wintry, windy, snowy week.

We had the much anticipated wind storm over the weekend, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. We got some huge gusts, but our trampoline and playset stayed standing, and that's all I can hope for. School was closed Monday, due to the wind - it was howling most of the day and didn't die down until after dinner time.

I worked from home, in our new office space on Monday, so I could stay home with the kids.

Every time I heard a gust, I'd lean over to look out the window to see if the playset was still standing. (Thankfully it stayed upright).

So after that windy mess (many people were left without power for hours - we never lost power, a few flickers, but we never lost it), we are now in a "Winter Weather Advisory" today. We are expecting 4" - 8" by tonight.

I'm excited to take Bella on her first REAL hike through our woods.

I can't wait until I can take everyone to the lake!
