Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! Unbelievable! I went to take my daughter to her co-op, and the temp. is, like, 65 degrees, headed toward 75 for the day. (Don't feel bad, northern states. Just come visit, if you want!)
DD was so delighted with the weather, and ds (6) was so funny... We walked out the front door, and he had put on his winter coat,... He stopped, and put both hands up, palms up, like to check the weather, and said, "What?!!!" And he shed his coat and threw it at me like, "I'm not going to need this!" and whooped and hollered on his way to the car!
So, we figure to spend some great time outdoors today. Finally we'll get in a good CM nature walk. We listened to a cardinal's song, while we sat in the car waiting for dd to get there. Why do I have so much trouble remembering which song goes with which bird? I'll take my digital camera with us on our walk, and we'll try to keep track of the birds we see. Hopefully we'll be able to note more than just how much trash we pick up! (That was the notable notation in my blog of our last significant nature walk...)
I'm itching to get in the yard and bag those leaves and find that yard. (Yeah, we must have only bagged 200 bags worth of leaves in the fall. What were we thinking? We needed to continue bagging after the temperature had reached 20 degrees...)
Well, I'm definitely not going to spend all day on homeschool blogger today, so I better get off to my laundry and such, which really needs to get started before I can go outside and "play".

But people read it, and comment on it. Very cool. I'll be reading yours as time permits.
I did get a book for the patterns - it was spendy but looks like it's going to be worth it ("Patchwork Principles" or something like that)
I know what you mean about skinny hippie vs. chubby hippie. I'm wearing a flannel petticoat skirt right now, the kind that drawstrings up? You have your choice of bunching all the drawstringed material in the back (thereby having big granny butt) or evenly distributing drawstringed material all the way around (thereby having big momma waist...and butt...) *sigh* I remember the days when I was a size 8. Probably nevermore.
