Yes, we woke up to snow this morning. I went out and shoveled the driveway, and the birds were singing and flitting from snowy branches to snowy branches...spring, meh. April Fool's, more like it. It's so different than REAL winter snow, the muffled silence. I can hear the birds right now even through the closed window, singing and probably wondering what the heck is going on.
We had such nice weather on Saturday, even after we left the theater at midnight, it was 65 degrees out. Then yesterday, it was so damp and chilly. It was the perfect day to read the paper with coffee, stay home, and be cozy. We cleaned the house a little...I wrestled with the vacuum cleaner, it seems to be clogged every time I use it. The girls started begging me to get out the sewing machine...they chose fabrics, and I made scrunchies, the fabric covered hair elastics. I also made a lining for a white woven basket we picked up at the thrift store a while ago, for Evelyn.
Evelyn made macaroni and cheese, and a pan of cauliflower and cheese for me, and put the pork into the instant pot for pulled pork. The snow was falling, but the house smelled delicious...then Margaret and Adrian and Wulf came over...then Emily and Abigail. It was very pleasant.
We bought Sonja's ticket home from Germany last night!!!!! She is going to Norway with us, then to Germany for three weeks with her friend Suzie, and flying home by herself. That part I don't like. Not at all. But she'll be 17, and Emily helped book the ticket so she has a layover in Iceland instead of London, as the airport in Iceland is very small and easy to navigate. She is very very excited!!!
It's quiet in here, for now...Anne will be here soon, the kids will come wandering in and we'll do some school work...and then maybe they'll go sledding on the back hill.

You are going to Norway- that is exciting! It is so hard to let our children do things by themselves since we have done so much for them.
