I believe spring is coming. I've seen buds on trees, crocuses pushing through the earth, robins flying about. The squirrels in my yard are acting like it's spring - chasing each other around, scrambling up and down trees. Frank is ready to be outside chasing, too. But I'm beginning to believe that this belief is more akin to believing in the tooth fairy.
While the ground at the moment is dry, we've got a winter storm warning in effect until tomorrow afternoon. They are saying we could get about 10 inches after it's all said and done. It's not supposed to get really bad until later in the morning. I kind of don't want to go to work, but can't really see an excuse yet, which I find a little frustrating.
This weekend is going to be full of final projects that are due Tuesday and Wednesday. There are about four, with only one started. I'd like to stay in my sweat pants and down vest today, possibly in my bed sleeping. I can't wait for Wednesday to get this exhausting quarter behind me.
One little step at a time, Claire-bear. You can do it!!

I like your headline, Claire and great shot of the wintery, snowy steps.
Spring? Don't worry. It'll come. This mess is getting tough to put up with though.

I forbid you to piss this weekend away! Shame! I can FEEL you watching t.v. while "outlining" a paper. Shame shame!
Other people are so encouraging, but, my friend, I believe in the power of tough love.
I can't believe you guys are still getting snow. It's sputtering a bit outside of my office window right now, but I don't think it's going to hang around.
Stay in your puffy vest and bake some cookies, you've earned that. Be Good.

Okay, okay, Natasha! I PROMISE to do my homework! I have no choice - they are finals! :)

Have faith, m'dear. It's coming.
Last Sunday the temperature here was 70 degrees and I sat out in the Well House all afternoon. Today there are several inches of snow on the ground, but it can't fool me. I can smell the spring coming every time I go outside. I'm getting quite excited about it. :)
