What a winter for central Illinois! The fact that snow made a morning appearance earlier this week was unwelcome and converted snow to a four-letter word in my vocabulary. Yes, I LOVE the first snow in December, and I will go on for a few months about how beautiful it is. However, come March, it’s just a nuisance covering up the signs of spring.
Our spring break doesn’t hit for 16 days, so we’ve tried to convert as much as we can to spring around our house. We have a very small stash of warm clothes available, one set of gloves and hats for everyone and no signs of home decor with anything snow-related allowed until December 2014.
If a coffee mug even resembles anything from a holiday or winter inspired theme, it’s downstairs in the closet.
We only welcome spring-like colors and objects around here! Even though today is hiding the sun, is a little damp outside, and not exactly what we are hoping for….we keep the visions of sunny spring fresh in our mind!
Think Spring! Check out our Parks directory for inspiration, and we will see you outside….soon!
