A drippy kind of day with water pouring from the eaves and the sap finally starting to run.  Every so often a huge sheet of ice and snow will come crashing down off the roof with a tremendous, window shaking, thud.  This is really our first warm, sunny day.

From Galen’s Weather Journal:

“3/11/15, 2:08 pm

It is 43 degrees.  There are 19″ of snow.  It is extremely bright and sunny.  The path is all slushy and the iceicles are driping.  The snow on the roof keeps falling onto the ground.  Some of the plants in the garden are starting to show above the snow.  A few of the trees have buds.”

I was all for taking the path of least resistance today.  Quiet school work inside, followed by periods where I sent them out to be boisterous and wild outside.

Switching out infant clothing for toddler clothing.  So many memories stirred up with these little frocks.

This is Mairi Rose trying to convince me that she can still wear these shoes.

I’m back to working on the blanket for Seraphina and greatly enjoying getting lost in it’s soft, squishy, milk colored scrumptiousness.

I’m reading Home Education by Charlotte Mason and finding sections of it very inspiring.  I wanted to post what everyone is reading right now, but I just don’t have that kind of time.

Dance night for them.

These two like to read together at night.  It’s pretty much the sweetest thing ever.

Elijah lost another tooth.  He doesn’t have many left.
