What a way to wake up! Even all the whining from the kids, cats, dogs and guinea pigs weren't so annoying.
I went for a drive later on and stopped at a place that I knew where the ducks were resting.
I love the look of all the birch trees when they're bare. Of course I will tell you I love them in the spring when the bright green buds appear. Then I say that my favorite is in the autumn when the leaves change.
But right now, the haunting starkness of the birch forest speaks to me. I have been heavy of heart the past week from missing my Mom. I feel the closest with her memories when I am out in nature.
Troy and I went to pick up the kids from the bus and took the dogs on a quick walk. We found one of our fishing poles still on the dock. Troy wanted to wring some necks!
The pond is still somewhat frozen.
It was so cold outside. The wind was blowing making it nasty cold. I was all bundled up, using my scarf for a tissue because the wind was making my nose run. This is how Olivia gets of the bus. Her coat, hat, scarf and gloves were all warmly tucked into her backpack. I gave her a good scolding and she took off up the lane before I could even finish telling her off. Kids!
