"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

Cabin Fever

It's snowing outside. Again. It's been snowing off and on since Thursday. This morning's temp was -9 degrees. Isn't March supposed to be Spring? Why do they have pastel colors in all the stores and cute little sundresses? We've gone swimming, gone to the museum, played music, DVDs, puzzles, dolls, baked cookies, and read books. We're experiencing a little cabin fever around here. The picture below is a pretty good summary. Those of you who know me and my anti-clutter phobias might be surprised to see the living room in such disarray...it's been in some stage of this for a week. It doesn't help that all the other schools around here have Spring Break next week and we don't get one. I'm dreaming of a hike in Moab's warm red rock canyons right now...

We've even resorted to playing dress up with the dog, Hemingway, for amusement.

Claire, of course, is as cute as ever.

Claire looks so grown up in that dress and fancy shoes! It's killing me that Julia and Claire can't be wearing their same dresses in the same room! Our spring is coming in bits and pieces. One tried and true amusement is to find geese and ducks anywhere and stop the car and watch them. Everything else is so dreary and drab, but they keep Julia very entertained, and did so with Will at this time and age.
