Yup. that snowdrift is starting to shrink. Above the height of the barbeque, it's been out there growing and ebbing, and now the dirty truth of spring is upon us.
Mud coats our vehicles. Our shoes, the drive, the dirty leftovers of winter - which is grand!! A slow melt means less chance of flooding as the moisture goes into the earth. Floods we don't need!
With spring comes the usual suspects - March brings St. Patrick's day, a green celebration of all that is or might be Irish - and we did the deed in good style, with new friends and coworkers coming to enjoy the food and drink laid out for the occasion. Soon Easter will be here, with family and food and reflection on what it means. Oh and chocolate eggs for the neighbors lads!
So my time is spent recently as a housewife, homemaker, sometimes feeling like the cleaning service and a maid. My contract is ended, and my employment is sporadic at best. I have interviewed for some really interesting and challenging jobs in town, but no one has "pulled the trigger" so I await a decision. A second interview on one today - time will tell, by end of week I should know!
Ambitious me? nooo not a bit. I struggle to pile up dishes, load the washer and fold laundry. It seems the older I get the more I want total me, total down time. To blog, to watch weird shows on line, to listen to music and cuddle the cats. The downside? cat hair everwhere, towels unfolded, and counter space filled with stuff that needs attending to! The snow is melting - life goes on!
