Hurry up, Spring!

In spite of the cold weather and piles of snow, we're still managing to roam around this little town and discover nooks and crannies - beautiful views, hidden parks, rural paths - it really is turning out to be a charming place to live.

With these walks around our area we are concentrating on keeping the dogs adequately exercised. We originally solidified our efforts when we thought we'd be adding a difficult third dog to the household, but we've continued even after finding out that Dexter could not come to live with us. If we can do this in February, I'm certain we'll be able to pull it off all year round.

It's making me really want a third dog though. I need more! I'm addicted! Someone save me from myself! (Preferably by giving me a dog - mwah ha ha!)

I think we're both getting antsy in general. This is the time of year that the world should be waking up, shaking itself off, and renewing its energy for spring. We are feeling the vibe and want to start fixing things up around here. I think we've decided on new colours to paint the trim of the house once the concrete fibre siding and new windows are installed. We're also planning and doing small repair jobs to the inside of the house, but the glaring problems need to wait for nice weather and it's frustrating!

Soon. Soon. And then I'll probably complain about all the commotion.
