Can I Really Hope That Spring Has Arrived?

Spring weather has been rather finicky this year. It has been cold and rainy for much too long, so I'm hoping that Spring was not teasing us today, but was here to stay. It was warm enough to play outside without a coat, the blossoms are slowly opening and the girls had fun picking little flowers from the yard and then drawing proof of what they had found. I don't think I can handle much more of the 'teasing' that Spring has given us this year. I want warmth and sunshine, pretty please...
If you want to see what Ethan looks like in his cast, check out the new post on daisy chain creations (on the side bar there to the right). I put it on my crafting blog because I had to do some practical crafting to make him a little more comfortable.

Maybe I Could Get Rich

Most of you know I grew up in Gettysburg, about 3 miles from the battlefield, in an old farmhouse that had been used as a field hospital after Pickett's Charge. When I saw this ad on Craig's list under the antiques listings, I thought maybe now was the time to bank in on all of the 'ghosts' lurking around our place.
--Okay, so the link isn't there anymore, but it was for this guy trying to sell a ghost he "caught" in his grandfather's barn. It was listed as "really old", the picture showed a film canister and it was for $99. I had a really good laugh over it.--
