barefeet to boots

We have been hibernating here on the farm.
Watching Little House on the Prarie almost every night.
Reading lots of books.
Longing for Spring...

There was a burst of spring last week and the kids threw off their shoes and ran barefoot..." It's SUMMER Mom!" and I could not convince them otherwise.
But alas it is not yet summer for a few days later we awoke to a blanket of white so spring and barefeet will have to wait. Back to coats, mittens, hats, boots and wet puddles on the floor.

But I am enjoying the peace and beauty winter brings me today....

Two kids taking longs naps.
A warm fire.
Quiet moments to myself.
Bills paid.
And the promise of spring.
