Winter - where are you?

Well, a dusting on Saturday morning does NOT qualify for a winter. The groundhog forecast six more weeks of winter, however, we hardly have had a winter to begin with. That worries me a tad...will March roar like a lion with three feet of snow... or will we Jack Frost miss us this year only to have his brother Jimmy Heatstroke blanket us this summer with triple digit temps and 90% humidity... we'll have to wait and see.

As for the investment in insulation, I'm not sure if I can actually count this year. I've had the furnace OFF at least twice a week all winter, and thanks to Eric, the fireplace has been roaring all month. We'll have to see how the rest of the winter months go...

Winter Wonderland

Well, as Mother Nature decides to grace us with her coating of ice, my back is deciding that it doesn't like her as much. It's invigorating working out in the cold though...who needs a gym to get a workout! However, I'm noticing that the snowblower handles are a bit too low for me and when I run out of gas and have to push the monster back into the driveway I feel extremely OLD!

I'm looking forward to sledding and snowshoeing again...unfortunately, finances aren't going to allow for skiing this year. My eyes are open for a good deal on skis though. The boys are becoming more adventurous in the weather, but, like me, also enjoy hibernating in the cold months. The TV does need to be shut off on a regular basis or they will be sucked into that catatonic state.

I also have to get going on my vacation plans for next month...can't wait to go south and visit with my sisters. We'll see what chaos ensues.
