Roar

It is impossible NOT to mention that March came in like a lion yesterday when balmy Georgia got snow! We were in short sleeve t-shirts on Saturday, then yesterday the temperature dropped and it snowed

And when it snows in a place that does not normally get snow, of course we get out and play in it. And take photos.

I took this photo from inside the house. The cardinal was loudly voicing his thoughts on the weather; since he kept hiding under the chairs and table, my guess is that he heartily disapproved:



I wonder if the flamingo wondered where he made the wrong turn?



Don't ask me about this snow being...James made it:



Aidan does not look particularly thrilled about the white stuff:



But he seems to like it better in this photo:



Can you see the flower on the tulip tree?



And here is my “See Rock City” bird house covered in snow. I don’t know if you can see it or not, but the tree from which it is hanging is already budding:

These boots aren't made for walking

Yesterday I had to take my 1998 Subaru Legacy station wagon - aka the Momobile - for a new set of axle boots. Not exactly the way I want to spend my morning or our money but, honestly, the car has not required much repair at all in the almost seven years since we bought it used. And because we finally have a Subaru dealership on the south side of Atlanta - yay - I did not have to drive all that far.

When I got home and checked my favorite Ravelry discussion groups, I saw that there is a new member in our Motherhood Later Rather Than Sooner group. When I looked at her profile and saw her project notebook, I saw that she named one her projects “These boots aren’t made for walking” booties. Hmmm. I just bought boots, I like the song, and the next thing I knew, I was humming "These Boots Are Made for Walking."

So, of course, I had to find a video of Nancy Sinatra singing the song and quickly found one on YouTube. I cranked up the music and although he was upstairs at the time, Aidan came running to see what I was doing. He watched the video, circa 1966, and when the video was over, he said "I think I love her!"

How cute! And for the rest of the day, Aidan and I sang the chorus together!
