What a Month!

After Christmas I thought we had seen the worst of the weather here in Southwestern Minnesota.  We all started back to school and everyone was glad to be back into the swing of things.  But over the last two weeks, we have had two snow days, and 4 delays of school.  It has been crazy!  This past Sunday however, it was sunny for a few hours and I was really homesick.  It reminded me of early spring in Utah.  Right when the snow starts to melt and and you can see the glimmering of little grass leaves through the snow and muck.  I miss seeing daffodils in March instead of May.  But, bloom where you are planted right?  And enjoy what you have today.

We have all had our winter colds too and feeling better.  I don't know about anyone else, but this cold and flu season wasn't as bad as I had thought.  I am not a fan of flu shots, and we didn't get any and so far so good! Knock on wood. 

My highlight for this month has been that I found one of my best friends from "Once Upon a Time" when I was young, thin, and wrinkle free!  I found her on Facebook and I am ecstatic!  We lost contact after I was married and she served a mission for our church to England.  I moved and have been moving ever since, but low and behold, she is on Facebook now.  It is a funny thing about friends who have known you a long time.  You can go for months and sometimes years, but when you pick up the phone and chat for a while, it all comes back like it was yesterday.  She is the reason I met my husband, so it has been really fun to reconnect.  

Well, the gardening and bulb catalogs will be coming out soon and I just get a little to excited to start planning a garden.  I have one small one that I am trying to get into shape and like to say I have control over.  It is however my husbands domain...all of the gardening.  I guess I should consider myself lucky though.  We have a freezer full of corn and a cellar full of potatoes.  I better start posting a recipe for mashed potatoes or something don't you think?  

Have a great and warm rest of the week...from my home to yours.
