It is Springtime






Spring time in the Mountains

Sometimes a test of MUD and SNOW
a test of indoor energy needing to head out
the windows open the pellet stove on minutes later
Kids growing, siblings struggles, sister kisses
Daddy on his 4 wheeler, making plans for the new porch
Mommy with her P90X
Family time at the zoo, family time cuddling in a warm house

Springtime in the Mountains....
I find this spring to be testing my patience.
Apparently my body is completely ready for green grass, flowers, sunshine, heat
The days it snows I can't find King Winters very welcoming
The cries from clean Orien as he trips in the mud are wearing
The kids seem to be ready to hang up there winter gear for good and return to bare feet and shorts

The glimpses of spring keep us going
the hikes with the melting snow
the planting of wildflowers and wheat grass
The biking down the Mt and jumping on the trampoline with laughter remind of the days to come
We anticipate the Easter Bunny's visit, of colored eggs, candy...it make more sense this season of Easter

COLOR, GRASS, BUNNIES, CELEBRATION!!! And so we hold tight to Ostara Rabbit Story and the magic hidden amongst the gray cold, more like winter then spring days!!!
