Where's spring?

Check out the bluebird that was in the maple tree in our front yard.  The sight of it prompted Mr P to place a bluebird box in the trees off to the right of the driveway in the photo below.  
Monday afternoon the snow started to fall while I was at work.  The trip home was uneventful but the radio was reporting lots of fender benders during rush hour.  


Plans were to go to the movies in the evening to see the movie "Lincoln".  After dinner, I told Mr P that we didn't have to head out to the theater if the roads were bad and going to get worse.  He assured me that the worst was over and really it was.  

The trip to the theater was on mostly wet roads and by the time the movie was over at 9:45PM, every where we walked was just sloppy.  Today there are little hills of snow here and there where snow was pushed to clear a walkway to the detached garage.  Most of the snow is gone however which is great.

I borrowed the movie Argo from the library on Friday.  We were able to watch it on Saturday evening and would recommend it.   I remember the hostage crisis with Iran in the 1980's and who doesn't like Ben Affleck.  Oh he's easy on the eyes!
The movie Lincoln was also very good.  Completely different period of history but just as interesting.  Daniel Day Lewis and Sally Field were great as Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln.  Again, another one we would recommend seeing.

This last picture shows the stonework we had done behind the woodstove this week.  It certainly is a change in the living room.  Now to paint the rest of the room.

Today is not only the first day of spring but also the 10th birthday of Grandson #2.  We called to sing Happy Birthday to him about 1/2 hour ago and see how his day was going.  He assured us his day was Great so far and he still hadn't had his cake.
Happy Birthday again to the Double Digit Midget, Grandson #2!!!  We love you.
Remember spring is right around the corner.
