Grow !

Hello, world!  Well, it's been cold, snowy, icy and damp for far too long.  My poor snowdrops are frozen solid on their stems and the robins have tried their best mating moves multiple times without once setting up a nest.  It's definitely time to give good ol' spring a bit of encouragement, especially in light of the fact that the official first day of Spring brought a record snowfall here!  So, here's my "Rah! Rah!" cheer for Spring - go Team Spring!
Happy Wednesday!

Brrrrrrrr !

We are "enjoying" (*eye roll*) a late winter blizzard here in balmy southern Ontario.  The show started last night and has continued relentlessly since.  I live on a place that Lake Ontario curls around so we get lake effect snow when others get only a sprinkle.  As a result, those living in our so-called ski belt further north have little if any snow, while here it's knee deep and still collecting!  It's really gorgeous, heavy, packing snow, too - the branches are  bowed over and thoroughly covered.  The screens in the windows are filling, too.  Once it stops I think every kid on the block will be back to rebuild their late, lamented snowmen and forts.  I'm tucked up in my lovely, warm chair with a fire roasting beside me.  This is the Zentangle that flowed from my pen this cozy evening:
Do you think that maybe I'm wishing it were Spring? Heheheee....
Happy Wednesday!
