I'm very tempted to just complain about the weather - it certainly was a miserable weekend. It rained for the entire weekend - switching ot snow for just a bit. The wind howled and whipped the rain/snow around. It was impossible to not get drenched in the driving rain/snow if you were forced to venture outside. We needed the rain though and this will help to wash away the winter grit and sand covering everything.
Yesterday I had no choice but to be out in it - I was downtown for an appointment and took that opportunity to run some errands. When I arrived home last night, I put some heat on in the house and was very thankful I could spend the evening inside.
During the night I woke up several times to the sound of the wind whipping the trees and everything else out there around.
Today I half enjoyed the fact that it was so miserbale out. I took the opportunity to do some spring housecleaning. I also cooked the 'Vegetarian Sheperd's Pie' featured a few posts ago. It is in the oven now as I write this and I can't wait to try it. I'm sipping away at a coffee flavoured with hazelnut cream. Listening to the cat's breath as they contentedly sleep away the rainy afternoon. My house feels cozy and warm and I'm so grateful to be inside watching the rain fall in great puddles in my garden.
Wow--that food and drink sounds delicious. It's also gotten nasty here; it hailed today while i was out running. OUCH!

I feel for you and hope that spring arrives again quickly. So far our weather has tempered in the early signs of spring and is proving to be most beautiful. For this I am grateful.

Half a world away and I skipped work to stay in from the rainy cold spring and cleaned the whole house and ate homemade peanut butter cookies. Life is the same everywhere there is relative peace. I miss being in touch with all of you ;) Take care.

Staying in gives us pause and time for reflection. Spring is really just teasing us - but we'll still have some weather.
I hope you have a room where you can hear the rain on the roof. It's such a musical way to appreciate the rain without having to be drenched!
