Marching Ahead to Spring!

Counting down eleven more days...


On Wednesday morning, the temperature was mild and the sun was shining!


The sun didn't stay long, but the warm 10 degrees C held on for most of the day



There was a whole lot of melting going on!







This calls for a celebration!



Don't you think?




Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere!











There is so much to look forward to this week...

The girls are officially on March Break and will be on vacation from school until the end of next week.  Sunday, I am told, should be a sunny, warm day, which will hopefully melt the rest of our snow.  The weather station is predicting mild temperatures for the entire March Break.  AND, Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, so don't forget to "spring" forward! 

This weekend, my mom will be coming to stay with us for a few days.  The girls and I are so excited!  It's going to be a fun week.  I just know it!  Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and happy week ahead!  xo

  4. Annabel is adorable! I love seeing your pictures, they are so vivid and clear. The bubbles look amazing; I can see all the colors. Hope the weather holds and you get to enjoy March break in warmer weather. xoxo
    p.s. would love to know what kind of camera you have been using. I need a new one after I dropped mine into a bowl of soup trying to take a picture. :o)

    1. Thank you, Sandy! Sorry to hear about your camera. I have 2 cameras. One is a Nikon D40X and the other is a Canon Powershot Elph 300 HS. I've had the Nikon for 5 or 6 years. It is an excellent camera. It does not shoot video, but takes the best photos. I bought the Canon last fall because it is slim and easy to carry around. You can put it in your pocket and it also shoots video. I used the Canon to take the photos you see in this post. It is a good little camera, but I still love the Nikon best. They are two very different cameras. It all depends on what you're looking for. Hope this helps!
