Back to Reality...

So today was the last day of our festive holidays and it is back to work for me and to school for the girls now as normal, oh and I go back to class too in 2 days, that said, the morning chaos in our household commences tomorrow morning - not only that, but so does the early morning ice-scratching of the truck windscreen ....aaarrrrrggggg!!

The snow around us is beginning to slowly thaw...but it is still bitterly cold outside, I went out to see how my garden was doing and empty out pot plants collecting water from the thawing ice and snow and guess what I found...

...a single snow drop! I know that area has 100's of them, but she is just a single lady for now! I cannot wait for Spring...the girls did plant up some containers with some spring bulbs and I await my hyacinth which in actual fact have started to push out from under the soil and peek through the snow.

Well I guess I shall wind down now and make use of the calm before the storm...!!
