Sun in the morning
The sun has been so enormous in the sky in the morning on my way to the gym. Too bad this photo doesn't really express it.

{week of green} thanks enchantedmama
enchantedmama was looking for us to "think green" this week to celebrate the coming of spring. this was more challenging than you would think. we have had a beautiful winter here in western new york mostly because it has been relatively cold and the snow has remained on the ground so even on the overcast days there has been more reflected light then usual because of the snow. i am not typically a fan of winter, i have trouble without the light, this year i have felt much happier, i have just been embracing it and hoping that it continues. we still have snow even though it has been warmer here. we went ice skating today it was in the 40s and my little sweet pea has a pink little face, i feel so bad that i did not sunscreen today, so out of practice (she says it does not hurt but this was really unexpected in our area not so common as out west).
so here we go with many photos from the week. i never found a bud and i looked hard and long for the entire week. i did have some fun though, thanks kellen.

potential in green
my mama made this sweet cookie jar for my grandmother in 1971, my grandma loved roosters.
my grandmother gave this to my sweet girl when she gave up her house. so sweet.
she loved my girl and my girl loved her. missing her so much. so luck that she had the chance to know grandma.
green comes in all shapes...mostly man made these days.

spring is coming but what about the snow
we have been having much warmer weather the last 2 days but we still
have all of this snow. it has actually been really nice because it is
so pretty and it is melting off the streets and sidewalks so it is a
little easier to travel and it is nice to play outside because it is
not so bitter cold and virtually no wind.
i won't be fooled to think that we are done with winter yet, we usually get at least one more storm in march, but we will enjoy it for what it is.
sweet pea is not taking any chances she is going to get at least one more helping of snow.
this time she is not going to try some magical concoction. she went right for the hot maple syrup.
hope that you are enjoying the weather that you are experiencing.
