First day of Spring!

Yesterday almost all the snow was melted and most of the ground was bare. Then we got rain, sleet, and snow and a terrific wind. When I got up and looked outside, the snow was glistening, the deciduous trees had sparkling icicles and a blanket of fresh white snow covered the ground and the bright sun and clear blue sky made this a special first day of spring.

March report

Imogen and Isaac are becoming more and more adventurous as they get older. Isaac is showing his independence and Imogen's artistic talent is becoming more obvious.
Imogen (completely on her own) found stones and a dried maple leaf to decorate the snowman that we built. She used the maple leaf for the nose.

The fan in the door is how Harold Orr and his two friends created a negative pressure in our house to test for air leakage as they were doing a test on how well the house was sealed for energy conservation.
