Spring, Spring, Wherefore art thou ??

This morning's view from our front door--- everything shrouded in white, pure, crisp, beautiful----and I do mean morning--- not just anything can get me out of bed early on a cold Sunday morning when I should be snuggled under the comforter watching Coronation Street-- BUT--

my Aussie was going to the rink this morning--- his first time on skates--- an event too important to miss!!! I even bought a pair of skates--haven't been skating in decades--- and as it turns out,, I still haven't been skating in decades--- seems it takes more than the passage of time to turn into a smooth, graceful skater--

and poor Austin---

let's just say, maybe the next time will be better!!! It looks so easy,,, next year we'll try again sooner in the season,, meanwhile, my new skates are going back to the store tomorrow!!!
