Since spring eludes us for now,
I'll share a few photos of the JEMs.
Jack and Eli spent the weekend with us, and we had lots of great boy time!
Jack loves to draw, so grandpa got him a doodle notepad...
One evening, we repeated an old tradition we used
to do with their mom and aunt, watching a movie
picnic-style, with popcorn, fruit, and veggies...
Today, Maya started a game of Hide and Seek,
and I had to giggle at her choice of hiding places,
so I grabbed the camera...
Dear March ~ Come In
by Emily Dickinson
Dear March -- Come in --
How glad I am --
I hoped for you before --
Put down your Hat --
You must have walked --
How out of Breath you are --
Dear March, Come right up the stairs with me --
I have so much to tell --
I got your Letter, and the Birds --
The Maples never knew that you were coming -- till I called
I declare -- how Red their Faces grew --
But March, forgive me -- and
All those Hills you left for me to Hue --
There was no Purple suitable --
You took it all with you --
Who knocks? That April.
Lock the Door --
I will not be pursued --
He stayed away a Year to call
When I am occupied --
But trifles look so trivial
As soon as you have come
That Blame is just as dear as Praise
And Praise as mere as Blame --

Your post made me smile! How is the weather over there? It is softly snowing over here and it is very pretty. I am wondering where our early Spring is, but until it arrives I will enjoy what the good Lord sends us. :) Kit
Where is Maya? I can't find here! :)
I just love Pooh!
I have been searching for MOntana bloggers to follow and found you tonight from Kit's website. Thanks for the lovely post about the JEMS. I lived in Chester for the first 5 years of my marriage.
Sweet post, Laurie. I like that picnic idea. I think I may steal that from you!
I for one am so glad to see March come in. This has been SOME winter.
Fun with your sweeties...whatever the season...let's a little sunshine inside...
