Punxsutawney Phil was Right

Phil usually doesn't get it wrong. If you were basing his forecast on the mid-Atlantic region only, then he is 100 percent accurate. We have had snow on the ground since the big storm hit at the end of January.

At first I marveled at its beauty around the farm. The solemn look of the big pecan trees lining the lane with snow still covering the north side of each trunk. The quiet stillness of the outbuildings only broken by the sound of melting snow dripping off of their roofs. But now we're all ready to see it go!

Nathan missed a few days of school due to the snow, being in private preschool he won't have to make up the days. They were able to make it back for their Valentine's Day party and he made his teacher a special card. He did all the writing himself while I helped him with the spelling.

We've made such beautiful memories sledding in the snow this winter. I doubt she'll remember this big snowfall, but for now, who cares, and I think she likes snow more than dirt. And for those who know her, that is saying ALOT!

Pretty soon the farm will be awakened from it's hibernating sleep. The jonquils will start to bloom and the bluebirds will begin making their nests in the birdhouses. Spring will return to the farm and warmer weather will certainly be welcomed!
