It's APRIL! Gosh darn it, it's finally April. The last patches of snow on the lawn have nearly melted away. We are hopeful that tomorrows cold weather will be the last of the season. We've managed to go a few days without the fire burning and have officially turned off the oil to heat the house. The plants & herbs around my kitchen sink are slowly helping me to feel a bit like warmer day are ahead (the basil- oh the basil smells so good!)
You can see the little patches of snow that are left. Kids are dying to go swimming and are done with this snow mumbo-jumbo (Me, too!) 
Last weekend we met up with some old friends (Hi, Kirse & Tim!) at the Minute-Man visitor center in Concord/Lexington. It's one of my most favorite historical areas around Boston (The movie they show there is amazing). We are gearing up for Patriot's Day/Marathon Monday next week. The kids are all on Spring Break and I'm excited to see some awesome reenactments and cheer on the runners! It's such an emotional thing to witness. Mostly, we are excited to watch the leaves grow back on the trees and feel the warmth of sunshine. We are excited for more hopscotch (I'm the moron who drew the 6 backwards- I was upside down!) and riding bikes. 2 little ducks have already taken residence in the pond out front and the animals in the forest are getting louder and louder each night. It's coming. Yes, yes it's coming! Hooray!
