In Bloom

Yep, spring has sprung!

And rather quickly after that, it left, and sent cold weather and a frost.

Last night was the frost, and we had to pull all of my carefully tended plants back indoors. The poor things look as if I jostled them from a good nights sleep and pleasant dreams and are now a little sickly. I think they may have gotten hit with frost the other night when I wasn't here. Regardless, Mother Nature needs to make up her mind. Does she want me to pack my winter clothing or not?

This is the first day in almost a month that I have had to wear long sleeves. I will also have to dress Nick's 5 yr old cousin in a jacket, and she and I both hate the idea since I pick out the cutest outfits and a jacket throws the whole thing off. The positive thing is that I am actually quite cozy, and since I paid for the propane this month, I can happily put on the furnace and not feel like I am a psychotic cold blooded person who needs to find my internal thermostat.... actually I should do that anyway, I should put that on my list of things to do this week, along with changing the litter box. One of the chores I can't "It's a game!" the kids into. (however, if you want the kids to vacuum the house, they can play tag with the person with the vacuum being 'it' they never catch the others because the vacuum slows them down, but the house gets clean.)

So that's that. Mother Nature, make up your mind! To do: Litter and Inner Thermostat. I don't think either of us are going to listen to me.
