A friend of mine is moving house soon so I spent the morning helping her pack. When I got home at midday the Man was about to set off on the mile and a half walk to town with the kids - anything to get them out of the house and stop them bouncing on the new sofa. It was a lovely sunny day and not too cold, so when we got back from town (I'd followed in the car to save everyone's legs on the way back) we set about some yard work, and managed to scrape together quite a good pile of twigs and branches for the municipal garden waste people to collect later in the week. The kids (ours plus some extra ones from next door) had fun zipping up and down the driveway on scooters.
All but the most obstinate heaps of snow have gone. The landscape is very bare, but taking a closer look the trees all have buds now. They may not pop for another month or more, but I'm finally tending to believe spring really will happen again - even here.
