Did you ever read a childrens book called A Child's Calendar by John Updike? I'm thinking about what he wrote about March...
In March the sun is like a kite that cannot keep it's own string tight.
Spring teaches us so much about anticipation.
The first buds are coming up in my planters. I underestimated how much the kids would enjoy watching them arrive. I'm not sure which ones will be appearing...the crocuses, daffodils, tulips, hyacinths. Daffodils are my favorite and I love the fragrant hyacinths.
The kids were happy to see them and happy to think about fun memories from last summer when we stayed there. I couldn't help but think about how much life has changed since then. Look at how the apricot tree has changed since last summer. Sam and Ben look like giants!
Monday morning I was so grateful to wake up to no snow. It just rained. And rain is good. I'm remembering how green the mountains were last summer. Unusually green. Monday has been a bit lonely. It is the last week of this, my attempt at being a WAHM. The kids are at daycare and with Grandma and the house is just too quiet and I feel too isolated...hence the blogging... Now I'll go back to reading about internet business, if I can convince myself...
