it's a white, white, world!!!!!

okay so the title of my post was inspired by an elderly woman i do activities with at the group home i work at. every time it snows this is what she says.....all day.....every day- until it melts. "It's a white, white, world!!!!" she says it with a tone of conviction and anger- i'm guessing winter is not her favorite season...

well, i can't help but agree with her. i've had enough- thursday was the first day of spring- is it just me or did everyone picture the signs of spring just a tad different as well? here is my idea of spring.....


generic i know but you guys get the picture. i decided that i needed a definite comparison- what spring is supposed to be vs. what we are actually experiencing....






i think there is a definite difference. don't get me wrong- i love these pictures- snow has a very romantic quality.....but so does the smell of fresh cut grass, beautiful flowers,the smell of the grill cooking my favorite summertime foods, the humongous olympic size pool i have in my backyard that i will spend my whole summer vacation chillaxing in...... okay so maybe the pool part won't happen and the whole chillaxing part, well for that to happen i would need to be having a summer vacation- but smelling the fresh cut grass? i'm all over it!

so as we are all digging ourselves out today let's put ourselves in that place- that place of true springtime activities- there is a lot of snow outside so i'm guessing i'll be able to be in my springtime fantasy place for a loooooong time today...

good luck guys- be careful of those snow drifts! :0)
