finally February

And what does one do with oneself living in this place called Wisconsin in Winter? I often refer to the state as 'the frozen tundra.' We cannot stay inside all the time, there is just so much game playing, trampoline jumping, reading, doing crafts and puzzles, baking and playing Wii that a child can do.

Recently after a perfectly beautiful snowfall, the kind where the snow sticks to every single twig and branch on the trees and sparkles, we went outside to look at the snow, walk on the train tracks, and take some pictures.


Writing this post it occurred to me that today is Feb. 1. We made it through January, and February is a short month but has Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year smack dab in the middle of the month. Some fun times to look forward to and prepare for.




Now if Mr. Ground hog (tomorrow )would just NOT see his shadow...we could be in for an early Spring! Well... we can dream can't we.
And Spring always does arrive.... (hoping for sooner than later!)
