Mercurial March

March seems to have flown past! I know it's not quite over, but mentally, I'm now keyed in to April - the home stretch!

Here in Utah, it seems March has brought with it the Spring. This came slowly, however, and in a confusing order. First we heard the birds, even though there was still a foot of snow on the ground. Then most of the snow melted and we noticed green growing things! Then it snowed again - several times. Now we're back to sunshine, 60 degree weather, clear skies and flowers beginning to bloom.

Excited about new signs of Spring (somewhere around the 10th of March)

Later the same afternoon. I was actually trying to get a picture of a bird feeding at the feeder, in the snow - he flew away just as I took the picture.

Along with the changing seasons, Seth and I had quite a few visitors! First, Micah came to hang out with Seth. Then, our friend Darin came out to snowboard and visit old friends. Then, just a week or so ago, my friend Aliesje came down from the Jackson, WY area to spend part of her spring break in the city. We really enjoyed our visitors - and totally welcome any of the rest of you who'd like to come and check out SLC. I was really ready for some peace, quiet and time to get projects done by the time they'd all left, however.

So, the end part of March has been spent shopping, organizing, finishing up craft projects, cleaning and doing our taxes! Sometimes I feel like we're still moving 100 miles an hour, but mostly, life feels as though it has some space in it again.
