      oh, elena! i know the feeling. henry has needed to burn off energy outside for a while now, and dotty- all she wants to do is eat snow, eat snow!!!
      hope it holds off for you guys, and you see some sunny warm days soon!! XO

    Yes, it will end – I keep telling myself this every day! The cats are going insane, Will just wants to go for a walk without freezing to death, and I’d like to get down my driveway withou taking my life in my hands! But spring must come soon!

      it will! it must! i can feel it. actually, i was pleasantly surprised today to see some little green sprouts coming from the ground! wow! impressive, because our ground has been covered here since a week before christmas. i’m not kidding! it’s no wonder one of dotty’s most popular questions is “eat snow?? eat snow??” and now she answers her own question- by saying, “noooo… dirty.”

      haha, i think we’ve all had our fill :)
      here’s to spring!

      yep, it’s gross and black here along the roads and in the parking lots- sooooo eh. i think we are in for a meltdown, it’s supposed to be a crispy 50-something over the next couple days!!!! i am really looking forward to not negatively obsessing over the weather. :)

    Love those shoes . . . esp the bowling shoes (?) with that skirt and the vintage pumps on ladybugs! Well, as winters go in w. wyoming we’ve had a mild one. But we can always count on winter lasting into June! I hardly have the season to wear cute sandals, etc.
    It is so fun to visit you here . . . thanks.

    Jenny,

    Sending you warm weather vibes from sunny Austin, TX. Would you be so kind as to tell me where you got sweet Dotty’s little red sandals? I *adore* and my Miss Romy has to have some like that!

      hi miss stacy! thank you for the warm vibes- it must be working… we are in the mid 40s and it’s sunny! which actually feels nice!!!!!! i’m sure 40s to a texas girl is like, eeek, where’s mah coat!? but for us, it’s a pretty nice treat right about now :)

      dotty’s sandals are sea wees: http://www.mysaltwatersandals.com/baby.html

    We have actually been spoiled weather-wise this winter but I still live in a part of Canada where it isn’t unusual to have snowstorms in August (not kidding either – it is usually the August long-weekend when we are all at the Canmore Folk Fest in our parkas and sleeping bags…but I digress) so it is all relative right?

    What I really want to say: is that a ladybug carpet???!!!??? Because I think I need it! Where did you get it?
