I wouldn't be Canadian if I didn't complain about the weather.I've had a freaking head/sinus/allergy attack for what feels like three months. Last weekend I was hoping to set out the hammock, wrap myself up in a blanket, and let the child-units go free range while I bake in the sun and burn off the infection and soak up some vitamin D.
But NooooOOOooooo. Freaking wind was drawing a cooler wind off the water and I had visions of pulling out the itchy red woolen underwear again.
It was only by 4:30 Monday afternoon that it had warmed up enough for me to pull out a plastic lawn chair and sit, facing the mud-trodden space of yard that I dream will some day be a romantic garden space lush with flowers and vegetables to watch as the child-units trudged and trampled and packed the earth down just a bit firmer. I love my garden elves. Pack away dear ones, the garden is there for you to enjoy too.
Sigh. Child hood. There are several days where I wish I could go back and do some things over again.

Ah I remember my younger days, the wonderful mud, and puddles. Those were the fun days. Glad your days are getting sunnier, warmer, and Springier.
About the photo to the right: I love the muddy knees on her tights.
I love the photo too. Rae rocks that look on a regular basis. It's not a good day until her pants are dirty.
Good luck kicking the cold/allergies. This time of year is bad. I noticed the maples are blooming on our street which means sneezing for me.
that's an awesome picture!
I am starting to wonder if this isn't a cold but rather allergies too...
I could use some sunny warm days now... I could.
OK. Here's what I've been advising everyone with sinus issues - do the saline rinses. They're available at drug stores near you and they're the best thing since sliced bread. Do them when you first get a cold. Do them during a cold. Do them when the sinus thing just won't go away. Seriously. It's safe and OH SO effective.
I had a chance to be catch some sun last weekend -- of course, I was pushing a mower.
Cute photo.
