I Miss The Mouse

Spring is stuggling to establish itself here in the Frozen North. We've had a couple of days with sunshine, when it is possible to walk outside and THEN remember you've forgotten your jacket...and then realize that you don't really need it.

Against south-facing brick walls, spring bulbs are sprouting: some are three and four inches tall already. It's slightly amazing to see that much new green growing.

I miss DisneyWorld.

While we were there, the weather was absolutely perfect--sunny and breezy and incredibly pleasant. The parks were green, green GREEN, with flower beds all abloom. Trees were in leaf, not like the hard little nubbins of buds visible here. I miss all the happy happy people, and being on vacation.

I want to go back. Now.

The kidlets and I had an abortive mission to the zoo today--it actually closes at 4 this time of year, which makes it hard to get there after school lets out at 3. And, as long as we were already driving south, why not just keep going? I mean, it would only be about 2 more days of driving to get there, right? And, wouldn't it be worth it?
