We need to paint our house this year and I'm trying to decide on a new color combination. This is just too much brown. I'd like to use blue, but would that look funny with the stone front? I can't decide.

We have a little bit of snow on our roof, and it sounds like some more is coming this week. March is here on Thursday, and I'm ready for spring.

This is what our mailbox looked like this morning after the snow plow came through. I haven't heard yet how much we got, but it looks close to 12 inches. And it's still snowing. I'm just glad it happened over the weekend, I hate to drive to work in this stuff.

Its' snowing on Goldenrod Street today. We're supposed to get 12 inches before it's done tomorrow. Hopefully this is our last blast of winter this year.

Amanda has a new hat. She's really into the bands that have been around a while, like the Beatles, the Monkees, Queen, Styx, etc. She went to see the Steve Miller Band with me last summer and she loved it. Anyway, we went to Target because she lost one of her gloves. Too late, no more gloves. Now if you want flip flops or beach bags, you're in luck. Minnesota in February. So we settled for this hat. Best band there ever was.

We have a lot of puzzles at our house. My husband and my daughter are puzzle whizzes. I'm a putzer. I like to get out a puzzle and put in a few pieces here and there, taking my time. My husband comes along, sits down, and it's done. I give up.
