Oh the joy! There is so much good in this picture. I'll list the good things that I see.
1. SUN! We have had days and days and days of clouds. This evening, while working on homework, I noticed a hint of sun bouncing off the neighbor's house. I had to go outside to see.
2. GRASS! While snapping the picture I noticed that in the last three days, despite the snow falling from the sky, grass has managed to poke its head out in a few select places. Three days ago this was unthinkable.
3. DRIPPING WATER! On Sunday we spent time thinking about what to do with the FEET of snow on our flat roof. Knowing that shoveling would void a warranty, we opted for doing nothing but crossing our fingers. Mother nature is taking care of it for us. A small waterfall is tumbling down.
4. CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. (Notice the period this time.) Poor Trent would like to take them down with the Christmas decorations. I kind of like them because they add some color to our extremely bland house.
