What is going on??

Dare I say it?  We survived February!  I realize this is a bit premature since it is only Feb 26th, but we made it to the end.  This has been a crazy month...record snowfall with record lows, swinging to record highs and fabulous spring like weather, ending with torrential rains and another reality check...it is still winter.  We are all confused.

Spring will be here soon and with it comes spring projects.  This year is putting in a patio and sod on the upper terrace in the backyard.  This has to happen as soon as possible since right now it is just dirt; clear of grass, weeds and other annoying things that make laying a patio challenging.  Another reason for its urgency is that my children are drawn to the blank canvas of dirt and, therefore, come in coated with dirt or mud...yuck!  We are also putting up (or shall I say attempting to put up) a slide/swingset/rockwall combo toy for the kids.  This sounds like a lot of fun to play on and like a big headache to assemble, but we are doing it, hopefully,...with a little help from my handy sister.
