Spring Fever

Easter is fast approaching and so is spring which means spring cleaning and DIY decorating and all things bright and cheery. I am a little sad that ski season is ending only because our entire family just learned how to ski and it was fabulous. Now the girls are totally  addicted to skiing. So am I. Apparently we shouldn’t have waited until March to learn to ski.

Outdoor Activities

Anyways, I have plenty of awesome spring and summer activities and sports I love too. In fact, won’t it be lovely just to get out and go for a walk? I have been walking much of the winter, but there were dozens of days when the path back home was so treacherous I worried I’d never make it. And all the minus 25 Celsius weather was a bit exhausting.

Just a couple of short weeks and we’ll be seeing the bunnies out in the yard. There was one last year living under some of the deck near the pool. Then there were two skunks also out there last spring, oh and a duck we named Beauford. The kids are already asking if he will be back. Anything is possible in the spring!
