Today......snowing again.

So as I begin my day with a hot cup of coffee,

I dream of long hot summer days,

and the sound of children jumping into the pool for a refreshing dip.

The ice cream trucks song

and the cicada beetles hum.

The smell of sunscreen

and the sound of the waves at the Sandbanks.

Canoeing on crystal clear canadian waters

and the sound of a crackling campfire as darkness falls.

Oh .................I think I need another sip!

Good news though...the miserable weather we are having today and tomorrow, is going to be followed with some VERY Spring like weather.
Hang on girls...it's coming. I for one will never complain about the heat this summer....I will join Karen in her pool though!!!!!

I woke up to snow here; it's still snowing now.
Well...at least I won't have to be cutting the grass for awhile!!

It has been sooooo challanging for me to be positive with all these grey, rainy, snowy days. Good point re. the grass cutting Roxanne!!!
