Keeping busy

My darling oldest chose this picture - these are her spring flowers!

Spring will come - Come spring come!

We were on the verge of spring in this part of the world, and then Mother Nature let us know she had a different plan.  Lots of snow fell yesterday, school buses were cancelled, some schools closed, driving was made hazardous and people reluctantly put their winter boots, hats and mitts back on and braved winter.

To remind me that Spring will certainly come (in her own time and at her own pace - nature is so smart and wise!), my darling daughter's Gerbera flowers provide inspiration for the warm that lies ahead.  We have been enjoying the last few days by snuggling in with good food, reading great books, and attending my daughter's girls group banquet.  It was amazing to see all this young girls through to young women being with each other, focused on community, friendship, sharing, nature and learning.  It was about inner beauty.  So important when it comes to shaping the lives of women and girls (smart is the new sexy!).

Today we are staying close to home, hopefully napping, we have been making a list of all the creative and fun things we want to do.  We have been crafting for upcoming family birthdays and just trying to enjoy each other.  It is far from perfect or smooth, yet the intention is there.  Wishing you a day filled with emerging sunshine!
