Wishin' and Hopin'




For spring.

Although I do admit, I spent many hours of my small youth, on wintry days, perched on top of my parents' large stereo cabinet--remember when you needed one of those to house your record collection? This is why kids get in trouble these days, they don't spend hours looking for the Annie soundtrack in the millions of records it seemed our parents had--watching snowflakes fall down. Our house growing up was the same basic layout as this house--maybe the person who designed them realized small girls need a place to appreciate winter joys?

Someone Small and I spent a few moments on Monday, looking for bunnies and saying, "Shhh" in case the bunnies heard us in the house.  No bunnies, though, just, as she put it, " It's 'nowing."

And for a moment, the snow didn't seem so bad.

Oh, I certainly do remember those big stereo cabinets, Rachel :) And the hours and hours I'd spend lying on the living room rug in front of ours listening to records--nice memories...

Your photo is precious and certainly captures the innocence of childhood--enjoy these beautiful years with your daughter :)

You should frame that photo! My boys couldn't wait to go outside when it would start snowing when they were little...when they got a little older, all I heard was "do you think school will be closed tomorrow?" They loved having snow days when school closed, and still do LOL

I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped--Frederick Perls
