Today is supposedly the first day of Spring, yet much of the country remains under a frigid layer of ice and snow. Here in Ohio, the temperatures have fluctuated so much this year that I’m beginning to feel like a yo-yo in the hands of a hyperactive three year old.
Instead of pouting, we’ve been trying to make the best of the frosty weather- tramping through the snow, wrestling around with the puppies, sledding, taking pictures of the wildlife, making snow angels and snow people! Yes, even my snowlady is a punkish glamourpuss.
This still leaves long hours indoors which we fill with Very Serious board game matches, pillow fort building, snuggling up with books, impromptu pan-drumming sessions and of course baking! Yes I’ve gone a little nuts baking this winter. From my Valentine’s extravaganza of cookies and smooshy heart cuppycakes, to brownies, rainbow sprinkle cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, fishy cupcakes and more. Luckily I have plenty of willing taste-testers around to help make them disappear before I start to look like a cupcake too.
While we all wait ever so patiently for the word to thaw and actual spring to arrive, I thought I’d have a little giveaway to cheer you kittens up.

The weather is finally warming up some. I’m glad the snow has finally melted. I’m really looking forward to cleaning up our yard and getting some flowers planted.
The weather here is perfect spring weather.
It was almost 70 degrees here today and lovely it is the best time of the whole year. I love the flowers and seeing baby animals. Today I saw a brand new baby foal in a field and it was lovely.
How wonderful!

The weather has been cool here 40-60s the last few days. I am ready for Spring to hit and some warmer temps.
It looks like winter is finally over. It’s warming up and we’ve been having quite a bit of rain. I’m looking forward to the days when I can sit outside with my coffee without having to wear a sweater or jacket.
It’s sunny and warm
