One week ago it was snowing. Yesterday my neighbor was mowing his lawn. (I'm not kidding. He gets pretty excited about yard work and must have done something to his grass because it's already pretty green while mine is still mostly brown.) At least I can see my grass! I love looking out at my yard each evening to see what hidden plants the snow has revealed. I love that I could take the second comforter off my bed and turn the electric mattress pad down to low. I love that I came out of the grocery store this morning to find sunshine warm enough to not need my heavy jacket. Speaking of jackets, I'm pretty excited to try my friend's recommendations for keeping yellow jackets and wasps away. Deterrent starts now. If I can kill the early rising queens, I can greatly reduce the colonies that would otherwise grow this summer. If you want to know her trick, let me know and I'll forward her email to you. Happy almost-spring! (This picture was taken today, February 24--Note the snow in the background!)

Ahhh...Crazy Utah Weather

do tell, we always have a wasp problem here.
It even SMELLED like spring today. We had the door open and after it was closed the scent of spring still lingered in the house. It was AWESOME!
It is still freezing here and I am a bit jealous of someone having spring like weather. I can't wait (but I guess I'll have to!).
I would love to know your friend's bee secret.
Mom
I want to know too!
Love your blogs Mary. I would love to read the book, "Love you forever" Bring it next time we have FHE.
Thanks for the great connect with the kids.
