The weather is finally making a turn for the better on a regular basis. Crap! I probably shouldn't say that because now we'll get a foot of snow tomorrow. Maybe just saying that will keep the weather nice. The floral and fauna are pretty much in full-bloom here. Our backyard is an oasis at the moment. We absolutely love being able to peek out our windows and see so much color and purity. The girls are driving me mad, however, with all their flower-picking. Today Mimi was proudly trotting around with freshly picked tulip. I tried to convince them to pick only dandelions, but they want nothing to do with them. Figures! The leaves are slowly making their appearance on the trees. I’m glad because the tree in front of our front, bedroom window leaves me feeling vulnerable to neighbor’s eyes without its leaves. Mike and I are debating when we should reinstall the air conditioner units around the house. I think we can get by for another week or two.
